Message: <blockquote data-quote="Danny1412" data-source="post: 1661137" data-attributes="member: 444886">I have recently been diagnosed with late onset type 1 diabetes just in time for my 50th birthday, originally the doctors thought it was type 2 and treated with Metaformin and Linagliptin. Blood sugars remained between 20 and 25. I went in to see a specialist who wanted to start me on insulin. As I am a professional driver it was agreed that we would try Gliclozide 80mg twice a day alongside the other medication. This brought my blood sugars down to between 4.5 and 8.I have found that I cannot eat rice, bread or anything else high in carbs. But sweets and cake have no affect on blood sugar levels? Any ideas?Since the new year (after all of the rich food has stopped and healthy eating has started) my blood sugar level has gone up to around 11-13. Any ideas?Also does anybody have any advice on the dangers of not using insulin even though blood sugar levels seem to be relatively stable at the moment, is it inevitable that at some stage in the future I will have to bite the bullet?</blockquote>
