[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2227989, member: 451727"] Hi there, I would just say don't change your normal eating habits too drastically just yet as I am sure they will be monitoring what you eat and how that affects your glucose levels. If you suddenly go very low carb this may well reduce your glucose levels but that may make them assume you are type 2 when you could in fact be type 1. They can take a while to determine type and it looks like first they want to monitor your levels without any medication and then (possibly) come to a conclusion. When you do go for your appointment, your records of food & BM tester results will tell them a lot. Following that they may be sure of your type or they may ask for more specific tests such as an antibody test or C Peptide test. There is other criteria that is looked at as well, such as presentation, ie weight/age and so on. In my view changing your 'lifestyle' drastically right this second can cause confusion over type so test, test and test and if you get high levels or feel ill or are worried, get back to them before your appointment which is 2 weeks away. x [/QUOTE]
