Message: <blockquote data-quote="lely" data-source="post: 1565562" data-attributes="member: 45963">I'm surprised the hospital are considering letting you go home if you have readings that high.  Especially if the hba1c was high, your blood sugars have been high for sometime, I suspect you may need to have that stabilised and brought down before a discharge is granted.  I was diagnosed 10 years ago.  put on tablets assumed type2 and told to eat normal which I did.   No low carb just normal.  I was not overweight then or now and was miss diagnosed and ran into other trouble 2 years after eventually being put on insulin and diagnosed type 1. In a type 1 case insulin is most definitely needed, there is no way round that.  You said you feel like noone is telling you anything.  To be honest if when i was diagnosed it didn't matter what they told me I'd have never have understood, it takes time to absorb all the info and understand your own body. Every diabetic is different you can use others experiences as a guide but ultimately your diabetes it's as individual as your fingerprint. Some (type2) can change their lifestyle and massively improve their control others (type1s etc) can't improve their control by lifestyle change alone some medication is necessary.  Once you know what you diagnosis is you will be in the right path. I wish you well and I've had so much help and advice from this forum, you have definitely come to the right place.</blockquote>
