Morning All ,
Hope everyone is okay wondering if anyone had a similar experience .
I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic in august 2019 - when diagnosed i had high levels of ketones that were in my urine for the first few weeks that the doctors thought was strange i had also suffered from dramtic weight loss 96kg down to 78kg in a very short space of time (matter of weeks) leading up to my diagnosis . unfotunately as covid 19 followed very shortly after i felt my support from the doctors went downhill sometimes waiting 2 weeks just for a telephone apointment with my diabetes nurse . I have been on gliclazide 80mg + 40mg each day and metformin slow release tablets . At first this really did to the trick and from a hba1c at diagnosis i got my next two readings down to 56-58 . I noticed about 6 months ago the way i managed my diabetes was starting to have less of an effect and the things i could handle before (small amounts of carbs ie some brown bread toast or even a portion of fruit ) seemed to send my blood sugars higher and higher over time . I am now concerned as for the past 6 months my general blood sugar levels are running between 14-19 mmol every day this seems to be my normal range and even on a week of zero carbs with all medication the lowest number i have seen is in the high 9's . My doctors i felt were not been as proactive as id like and felt it was me forcing them to look into things but always got told to stick to medecine and diet and see if it comes back to me . I have now swapped doctors and they are investigating if i have been mis diagnosed as again i have had a sudden loss of weight for no explained reason from 72kg to 64kg i am now like a skeleton but the new doctor is wondering if maybe i am MODY diabetic , this is the first i have ever heard of it so was wondering if anyone has any experience with it ?
My family has a strong history although it skipped my parents of type 1 diabeties so this is also something they want to check but after two years of been diabetic is it even possible i am type 1 as i was sure this almost an instant decline and i wouldnt of lasted 2 years with been type 1 and not knowing ?
I am due to be married in 8 weeks and just feel generally ill so desperate to get to the bottom of it so i can enjoy this time without been controlled by my diabetes and feeling under the weather all the time .
sorry for the long read
