[QUOTE="LucySW, post: 1232626, member: 113749"] Hi Lucie, from a Lucy [emoji4] I suspect that picture may be much more common than we think. Same for me, initially diagnosed Type 2 tho they immediately tested for antibodies so changed it to Type 1 within two weeks. Yes, treatment is basically the same. The key is your management of your insulin. No, let me reassure you, insulin in and of itself doesn't make you fat. It makes you fat if you eat a lot of blood-sugar raising food and then bolus to cover it. Insulin removes BG from the blood by laying it down as fat. So if you reduce the carb load and your insulin dose in train with that, you won't lay down so much fat. The point about carb control is that you can gradually lower your insulin doses, AND you get more consistent levels. So both highs and lows are less frequent. For the general idea, I do suggest reading the Bernstein book. Even jf you don't want to follow him completely. He explains it very clearly. Apart from that, Richard Feynman explains how restricting carb (to some extent - up to you what numbers you choose) is the only treatment that addresses all aspects of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. All meds address only discrete symptoms. Because the underlying mechanism is warped insulin metabolism. Richard Feynman, The World Turned Upside Down. He's a biochemist. Bernstein, The Diabetes Solution. My point is 1) yes, the treatment is basically the same, but 2) fine improvements to make things better can only come from you. Your doctor won't have the time, or the knowledge. But so much is known about this that you can find out yourself and tune your care up to fit you really well. Lucy [/QUOTE]
