I wonder if you were misdiagnosed as a type 2. Sound like you might have been a type 1.5 which from what I've read always ends up being type 1 after some time. Did you have a c-peptide test done when they diagnosed you as type 2? I've been losing weight as well, but not as rapid. Were you...

I've met some great people here, all willing to lend an ear and help out. As well as some who need words of encouragement. Being in limbo and waiting on the results of the c-peptide test to find out which type I am, is becoming a wee bit frustrating, but I am hoping that sometime this week I...

Thanks for all warm wishes and welcomes. . You know it's strange, I just thought being tired all the time was normal from my busy, single dad life. Even though I have been managing my diabetes for less than a week, still feel better than I have in a long while. I've got my appointment with...

Hi all! I'm new to this forum and new to the world of diabetes. Doc's not sure if I'm T1 or T2 yet, but time will tell. Although this came on very quickly so she's thinking maybe T1. Had blood tests for something else back in Sept and that showed normal bold glucose. So to make a long...
