[QUOTE="azure, post: 1232377, member: 39639"] Hi [USER=162479]@Lucie S[/USER] :) Sadly it's not uncommon for adults who develop Type 1 to be misdiagnosed as Type 2. At least you have the correct diagnosis now :) Do you see a consultant? Type 1s are usually better off seeing a specislist than a GP. The number and frequency of tests will vary between Type 1s. I have HbA1C every 6 months, eye screen annually, microalbumin test, liver and kidney function, coeliac and thyroid screens - and probably some more that I've forgotten! How is your diabetic control? Edited to add that low carb isn't compulsory. Type 1s eat varying amounts of carbs. You may find it easier to eat a moderate amount rather than low carb and then "binge". [/QUOTE]
