I'm just wondering is it possible for someone originally diagnosed Type 1 to be mistaken for being glucose intolerant where it can be controlled by diet and lifestyle?

I just looked it up on this site and it doesn't make a lot of sense to me but maybe the wine with the lunch was a bit strong.I'm not sure I'm really clear about what glucose intolerance really means? Surely it's just diabetes/pre-diabetes appearing in a particular form at a particular stage of development? Isn't it just 'diabetes'? Yes, it may often be the beginning of LADA
Looking at the link it sounds like early or 'slight' T2 or possibly early LADA. Why on earth do we need this category as well as the others within diabetes and how does it differ from that other strange term 'pre-diabetes'. Sometimes I have a 'pre-cold' in the form of a sore throat....I just looked it up on this site and it doesn't make a lot of sense to me but maybe the wine with the lunch was a bit strong.

hi mooshk i was diagnosed 2005None of these factors would matter if you were a type 1, it has nothing to do with food or weight.
To the op, is it potentially honeymoon period? How long since diagnosis? x
If you are currently normal weight I would expect you to be T1. Your weight at diagnosis and good diet would also imply T1 (or Late onset T1 - LADA to be precise)i was diagnosed as being ttpe 1and put on insulin straight away with no medical no history of diabeties in my family iam 8 stone always eaten a healthy diet i nearly killed myself i was sent away from the clinic with no knowlege only to take 16 units of insulin twice a day after 2 months of having to eat more food than i have ever done in me life in order not to have a hypo the first one was bad enough/ ireduced the insulin my self over the course of a week and guess what my blood sugars stayed normal i went back to the clinic and said they had made a mistake and they held there hands up and agreed i was fine for five years they said i was glucose intolerant two years ago it came back with a vengence i am now on 2 types of insulin but they still cant tell me if i am type 1 or type 2 good luck sue from bolton

i know the feeling when you are an adult somehow u cope with whatever life throws at you but when its your children it must be heartbreaking they told me when i had glucose intolerance just to monitor and thats all u can do for now fingers and toes crossed you can manage it through diet and exersise wishing you the very best off luck and your daughter try not to stress to much as children adapt to most situations i know this is proberbly the hardest thing to come to terms with but hopefully it wont become full blown for a long time.Thanks for that, I really don't understand my daughters diagnosis. Seven weeks along with no insulin her sugars range in a day at the moment from 4.7 to 10.3
I have posted about the honeymoon period without insulin but as of yet I have heard of no similar honeymoon periods. It's dreadful every day waiting to see if she will need insulin or not. Your story after diagnosis is about the closest so far.
