Type 2 can have some very high numbers too but it’s good that they have done more thorough testing and not made assumptions as you do have some signs of type 1 too. Fingers crossed for clarity soon. If you are a type 1 or a 1.5 it will be because you lack the insulin to process them. Insulin will be required and allow you to eat carbs at a level of your choosing. Some choosing to limit them for various reasons including lower doses, smaller errors etc they can explain if and when you reach this point, others choose to eat more typically as they did prior to diagnosis. If type 2 it will be because you are insulin resistant and the already likely high levels of insulin you have just doesn’t work as a result.  Improving insulin sensitivity and removing the thing that causes you problems - the carbs - is the obvious solution most of us follow with good results, making even total remission for a decent number of people. Until you get the results, and possible beyond, cutting out those carbs is the best thing you can do to manage them in the immediate time frame. Once you know more then you can decide how to manage longer term.   If you are hungry/losing weight the answer is in eating filling foods that are low in carbs. Fats mostly and proteins. Most type 2 in here do that long term LCHF low carb high(er) fat without problems, just benefits (though maybe some teething/adjustment issues we can help overcome).</blockquote>
