[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1521093, member: 240838"] S sorry. I didn't read the whole thread. There was!!! Most definatley. In fact I never got a type 2 diagnosis formally. I used to work on an ambulance and when I got the virus was the 1st I heard of high bs so I immediately got a meter and started testing. I have eaten Atkins style ( less than 20 carbs per day) for about 25 years and I always excersised. So I controlled it that way. I'm sure I was just postponing the inevitable. Eventually it got harder and harder to control and it didn't matter what's I ate or did I was always popping up. Off to the docs many times for weight loss and explaining even a small salad or a hard boiled egg raises me. Finally to a diabetic endocrinologist specialist. WHO DIDNT TAKE ONE DROP OF BLOOD OR RUN A SINGLE LAB TEST. So by now I'm 5'8 weighing 94 #'s. Ended up in three hospitals in one month before diagnosis and insulin. Gained my 25 much needed pounds back in 2 months and it stopped there. So, after lots of nasty letters to my doctors for missing this diagnosis I was awarded a bit of a monetary settlement for malpractice. TYPE 1 is an autoimmune disease. You can't eat yourself there. Your body attacks your Pancreas and kills off your beta cells. You can become type 2 ( insulin resistant) and require insulin for many reasons. One being eating but there are lots of other reasons. Type 1 and 2 are polar opposites. Type ones produce no ( or very little ) insulin and type 2 have too much circulating insulin that isn't being used efficiently. [/QUOTE]
