[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2140171, member: 451727"] Hi mandedog, I was very similar to you, 57years old, all the symptoms you describe plus DKA. They hovered between type 1 and 2 mainly I think because I was slim, had I not been who knows what they would have gone for. My hb1ac was 15% and I came out of hospital on insulin. After the first dose my levels dropped to the 4s and my eyesight became blurry (never even wore glasses before). The Nurse said this was normal having been so high glucose wise. It lasted for around 3 months (longer than some), so in the meantime I bought a pair of cheap, over the counter glasses which enabled me to drive & work. Now I don't need them and still don't require specs. Fast forward to a C peptide test and a selection of antibody tests. My C peptide was 'the low end of normal' and my GAD test was positive but the other ones were negative. Confirmed type 1. Still on low doses of insulin which probably suggests I am in the honeymoon period (2 years later). Hope this helps, please feel free to ask me anything. x [/QUOTE]
