Went in for an unrelated complaint, got elevated fasting BG and then again on the second one. I say elevated as I was only just above the "magic" number cut-off point!  After the 1st result I brought a meter and found that I was spiking after meals, sometimes up to +12 and also after exercise getting the same figures. However as you said I wasn't really getting any of the classic symptoms, just felt run down and under the weather for around 6 months. Anyway I'm 34 and my BMI is 23 soI guess that's why Doc says I'm T1, since I don't fit the typical T2 profile. Got put on Lantus (10u a day), which has brought my fasting down to around 4.6 every morning <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> and lowered my post meal spikes, though that maybe just due to me watching my diet a little closer now! But the diabetic nurse says I'm most likely T2 and feels the Lantus is over the top for my BG levels pre-diagnosis? Anyway I have endocrinologist visit tomorrow, who hopefully will maybe sort things out... :?</blockquote>
