[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2190212, member: 475037"] If you have low C peptides that is a sign of type 1, this will get worse over time if you are a type 1. Also losing a lot of weight is a sign of type 1. You simply can not utilize the foods you eat without the proper amount of insulin if you are a type 1. Racing heart, anxious feelings can come from Bg issues. Have you been tested for the antibodies that a positive result would tell you if you are a type 1 ? There are a few type 1's that don't have the antibodies and don't make insulin but that is rare. If you are a type 1, you can eat what you want you just have to learn to dose properly for it (hopefully healthy choices). Type 1's can be, but usually aren't likely to be insulin resistant. If you are type 2, losing weight, walking and keeping your Bg's down are all the proper things to be doing, that is the goal. If your numbers go up because of high carbs, then you need to keep a log of that and take your log and your meter into the doctors so you can show them. But you really need to document it and on your meter so they can see the issue. If you keep losing weight and you are a type 2, you are probably not eating enough, although there are a few other problems than can interfere with digestion of food properly. You might see if you can get tested for the antibodies. Since you have a low C peptide they should be willing to do that. That would at least solve that question and then you can take the next steps from there. You might also talk to the doctor about the anxiety issues. [/QUOTE]
