Am I type 2?

[Ronaldo]

I was told on Friday that I was a diabetic, all though I had known pretty much so for a few weeks that I was, but I didn't ask the doctor what type I am. I think I am type 2, because he told me I didn't have to come for another check-up for almost 2 weeks. He also told me that they would look at how a diet could maybe bring my levels down. I am pretty sure I am type 2, but can anybody confirm this please?

hi there,
you are more than likely type 2 as type 1 gets ill very quick and needs insulin instantly, what were your blood glucose results? ask whatever u need to know and someone will answer

Hi Ronaldo,welcome to the forum,if the doctor only talked about diet then you will be type 2.Type 1 diabetics have to use insulin to control their diabetes.Has he done all the tests ?

what were your blood glucose results?

The doctor never told me.

type 1 cant be suspected otherwise u would be on insulin, most drs try diet and exercise first for type 2 and if that doesnt work then medication usually follows

Thank you for putting my mind at a little more rest.
