[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 366807, member: 59930"] Hi Jenny, Sorry to hear how lousy you are feeling. Did they run a full blood test on u as in checking c-peptide and checking for antibodies? Many many people are getting diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when really they are late onset type 1. Although you say ur overweight, which would suggest type 2, you aren't as old as most type 2 diabetics as they usually say 40+. Also, the fact u have lost a substantial amount of weight and have been placed onto a substantial amount of medication but still don't see much improvement with ur BG indicates there might be something else going on? Usually ketones are not present in type 2 either so I would say its worth looking into... I would ask for full bloods done if they haven't already done that for you.
