[QUOTE="MargaretMartin, post: 1348432, member: 237111"] I was diagnosed with T2 16 years ago and no amount of tablets would bring my sugar levels down. The diabetic nurse knew I think that my diabetes wasn't type 2 but type 1 and I was put in insulin. At this point I had lost a lot of weight and was about 7st. 10 lbs. I have a twin sister and we are part of trials at St. Bart's in London where one twin has (diabetes) and the other hasn't. We had the tests c-peptide and GAD and others too. It was confirmed that yes I did have Type 1 and that my (twin) sister would eventually get T1. Years went by and 12 years later my sister got diabetes. Her GP said she had type 2 and would not budge from that diagnosis. I kept telling my sister "go back to your GP, tell him you have an identical twin with T1 and therefore your diabetes must be Type1." He still wouldn't budge and it was only when she was admitted to hospital with a BS reading of 32 that he took notice. I tell you this story because .... could you be type 1? [/QUOTE]
