I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the spring of 2019 at the age of 31. I went to the doctor for unexplained weight loss of 15 lbs over a few months. Blood work came back with an A1C of 7.8%. Because of my lack of risk factors (healthy weight, active lifestyle) and history of Celiac...
Hi,
I was diagnosed with diabetes just under 2 years ago. I was initially told I was type 2 and was referred to a diabetic clinic. Over the next few months I brought my hba1c down to 43 through diet and exercise and Metformin. The clinic then told me my doctor would handle my care as I was...
Hey folks.
Roughly four years ago, I was suspected to have developed type 2 diabetes when I was around 23 years old. Specialists outside of my GP concurred with this sentiment. My HbA1c was sitting around 8-9%. I was overweight at the time and had been all but completely immobile for almost an...

First and foremost, I’d like to thank all those who offer advice on this forum, it has been incredibly valuable to my journey so far.
So my diabetes journey started in August 2018 when I had a blood test after having...

Hi,
I just wanted to know if it was possible to go in to DKA with Type 2 diabetes and if anybody had ever experienced it?
I am being treated as Type 1 at the moment after going in to DKA but I'm still waiting for the antibodies test so was wondering if it could still be possible that I'm...
Hi there!
In 2015 in my first pregnancy I was diagnoses with gestational diabetes. As I didn't meet the standard criteria my wonderful diabetic consultant tested my gad antibodies and they were out of range. Post pregnancy my sugars normalised. I was followed up and my gad antibodies continued...
