Hi @Add41. I'm in a similar position. Rediagnosed as type 1 from type 2 last week. I've just start reading think like a pancreas as recommended by @azure and I've started doing Bertie online which is a course for type 1s although I've been told by my consultant I'll be going on a dafne course...

@Mony I was misdiagnosed as a type 2 aged 32. I've just had my bloods retested and it turns out I'm type 1. You can be a type 2 on insulin as my dad is but not in my case. While a lot of type 1s are diagnosed at a young age you can be diagnosed at any age.

Stayed the same this week although I've pretty much done the same as last two weeks diet wise. Although I did have a hypo on Wednesday night meaning I had to eat to bring my levels back up. I've had to take a bit more insulin though and it turns out I'm type 1 not type 2. Actually maybe I've not...

@GrantGam thank you, I've got this app. Need to have a good look at it! @dancer yes I had haggis [emoji1] might need to be a once a year thing if that's the effect it has lol.

Thanks everyone again, your comments and advice are much appreciated

Thank you all. I'm waiting on a date for my dafne course but doing Bertie online in the mean time. I've also ordered think like a pancreas book which should be here on Monday. I've got a lot to learn but I'll get there and I think I'll introduce a small amount of carbs just now to see the...

I've got the carbs & cals app, I've been doing low carb for a few weeks so I've not been using it as much. Going to have a good look at everything again this weekend. Thanks for the advice [emoji4]

I've moved hospitals so I've got an appointment for a new DSN in on 7th Feb. Last appt with previous nurse was in Oct. (since then I've also been rediagnosed as Type 1 by consultant. ) ratio given them was 1:10. I've been doing low carb since beginning of jan though and really only having basal...

This was me 18 months ago do I know how awful seeing that number is. Was your previous result in range? What advice were you given? Do you see your diabetic specialist nurse on a regular basis? You can get this number down but you'll need to look at what's caused it to rise.

I was on it for years, actually just stopped it last week. I was on 25mg and never noticed an effect on my sugars

Thanks @Johnjoe13. I've found that staying positive and getting good information the best thing although I do have my stress outs the same as everyone else.

I seen them in Lidl at weekend but I was buying loads other veg so gave them a miss this week.

Yeah I was well controlled up until 18 months ago. I know the gap for lada isn't normally as long but i like to be different lol. As a wee update I've ordered think like a pancreas and started the Bertie online course so thanks again both [emoji1]

@azure I've just been reading about think like a pancreas on Amazon. Going to order it. @noblehead thank you for the link I will definitely check this out.

Just rediagnosed from type 2 to type 1 today although I've been on insulin for a few months now as no other meds were working. Good to see I'm not alone [emoji4]

Yeah most of the stuff I'm reading is sounding familiar. I'm definitely not freaked out the way I was when I was originally diagnosed. I'm actually pleased to have a reason for why my sugars suddenly went haywire.

I was diagnosed as type 2 nearly 10 years ago with most of that being well controlled despite my ignorance of my illness. However 18 months ago my sugars started rising for no reason and nothing brought them into the normal range. My consultant decided to check for antibodies and it turns out...

When I had a urine infection my levels hit 29 as well. It's horrible but they should hopefully stabilise when the infection clears. If not definitely get back to your GP.

Sorry!! I love pumpkin and butternut squash roasted as they're normally quite sweet but I've never had this kind before. Have you googled it?

In scotland we have an online system called my diabetes my way which once you've registered gives you access to all your blood results, not just Hba1c and also explains what levels they should be at. It keeps a record of all your meds and and you can manually add in your daily glucose levels as...
