Diagnosed with type 1, 3 weeks ago, loss of vision :(

[Diamattic]

I went through the same thing when i was diagnosed last year, except my vision got better! I was able to see near 20/20 for the first 2 weeks after needing glasses since grade 7 lol. Weird eh? lol

Pleased to say my eyesight my has gone back to normal . Such a relief! Back to work tomorrow.

Saw the specialist for the first time about a week ago and he wants me to slowly reduce my 2 a day dose of Novomix 30 to try and get down to 8 units in the morning before breakfast and 4 before my evening meal. Currently I'm at 13 units in the morning and 8 units in the evening.

I'm still doing lots of reading to try and become an "expert" in this but there's something else niggling me, how can the doctors be sure I'm type 1 and not type 2? From what I've read the symptoms are very similar, if not identical to what I experienced?

I've yet to see my consultant,I've an appointment on the 15 of next month and I'm having bloods done to make sure that its defo type 1 for sure.I've been to see the diabetic nurse who like you have also been told to lower my units,4mg in a morning then 4mg before bed honey moon period as she put it,wrong thing to be calling it though
