Thank you . I was originally diagnosed type but then eventually they have said it is type 1.5 . I was on a lot of meds but they were not helping and the specialist last week has put me on the insulin. I am due to see a dsn. My specialist isn't the easiest to talk to and he didn't explain how...

My daytime levels are at best around 5.6 at worst they are 9. But they have been at the lower end a lot more lately. I asked my regular gp about taking insulin now but he didn't think I needed to now so I'll wait to see the specialist I did see a dietician and even she hinted she thought some...

Well I saw a specialist and yes they said I was possibly type 1.5. They just told me to check my keystones and if they were high to call them and I would start insulin. I had to do more bloods and they were sending them off for special tests which take months apparently for results to see if I...
