[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2105514, member: 503481"] Hello, welcome! I’m sorry you are going through this. As far as I’m aware you’ll need to pester your doctor for a GAD and cpeptide test to determine which type. However there are a certain number of cases where people don’t know what type they are. For ketones to happen is when your body is insulin deficient, dehydration and lots of peeing and that is going towards DKA because of the high glucose levels running for a long period of time. There are other symptoms to look out for in type 1 diabetes is, unintentional weight loss, dehydration, lots of peeing, extremely tired. If you are vomiting, you have to go to A&E asap. Best way I can describe it is type 1 diabetes happens very very quickly. If you can get yourself a blood sugar meter to check if your blood readings are okay. But don’t take no for an answer, keep pestering your doctor. If you read around, there is a lot of information that might help you.
