I was diagnosed in November after a few weeks of feeling thirsty, going to the loo a lot and losing weight. Hbac1 was 120 and ketones were present in urine. Immediately sent to A and E and started on insulin and metformin. No antibodies present in GAD test so being treated for type 2. I am active and about 14 lbs overweight. 6 weeks in and it all feels like such hard work. After a week of blood sugar readings being between 4 and 7 I had an 8.7 last night and a 2.7 this afternoon. It’s all consuming and I am feeling very low today. Just reaching out to others in a similar situation.
