[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2251593, member: 372717"] It depends whether you are T1 or T2. If T1/LADA your problem is lack of insulin not the carbs, and insulin injections will not only keep you alive but allow you to eat much more normally (albeit you'll be counting those carbs). Hopefully your blood test will have included a c-peptide test (measures the amount of insulin you produce) as well as the antibody one. Sorry, but I don't entirely agree with this. No evidence that carb intolerance is a factor in developing T1, which may have the same symptoms as T2, but has an entirely different cause. Though as a T1 I find it easier to go relatively low carb, I can still inject for what I eat, and many T1s eat many more carbs than I do. But it's really hard to give any advice till Starstruck gets an official diagnosis, as has already been said. There are a number of factors here that scream T1 to me, but I'm not a doctor and there are plenty of T2s who are very carb intolerant. Starstruck, good luck, whichever type of diabetes you have there will be plenty of support for you on these forums. [/QUOTE]
