[QUOTE="ClaireR1983, post: 516098, member: 74080"] I was diagnosed T2 in 2008, mainly I assume due to my weight, & put on Metformin. Then in October 2011 I started being sick so I went to the Drs where I was told I had gastroenteritis & signed off for a week. Over that week I got more & more confused, even 'losing' a day somewhere in the middle. By the Friday night hubby was so worried he called out of hours who told him to bring me to a clinic in the hospital 8am Saturday morning. When I got there they tested my blood sugars, which were 30 & I was in DKA, therefore apparently obviously not T2. I was admitted and in for 4 days during which time I was told I had 'slow burning type 1' or T1.5, but to be treated as a T1 & started on insulin as well as the metformin. That was 2 1/2 years ago now and I still struggle with sugars overnight being v high in the morning, but think I am making a breakthrough with that ATM.
