[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1022611, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. I suspect the reason the medics can't decide which type you are is that you are young and the blood sugar has risen fast (=T1) but you say you are overweight (=T2). You can be T1 and be overweight. Keep measuring your blood sugar, keep the carbs down, have plenty of non-sugary fluids and be prepared to seek urgent help if the blood sugar goes into 20s/30s and the ketones go up. If you are more towards T1 then the Gliclazide may help for a while and can be up to 320mg per day. Metformin helps with both T1 and T2 but only to a limited extent. [/QUOTE]
