[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 221472, member: 31282"] Hi Fraser, and welcome! I see from your profile that you have been diagnosed as Type 1.5. I'm sorry that I don't know much about this (being Type 2 myself) but there is quite a lot of information on both the forum and the main site, so please have a good read round and see what you can find out. Someone with more knowledge than me will be along soon to help, I'm sure. Don't be afraid to go back to your GP and ask for more information, or to be referred to a specialist at your local diabetic clinic. Most GPs are not diabetic specialists, and don't have much training in the condition. You could also check at your local library to see if there's a diabetic support group in your area. The confusion will wear off as you learn more. Don't be afraid to ask more questions - we've all been there, one way or another :D Let us know how you get on. Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
