[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 366860, member: 59930"] I'm not a doctor or anything but u might have type 1.5 or LADA as some call it. It kind of overlaps both types. U can get ketones like type 1 but u can also have a certain amount of resistance like type 2. Your beta cells are being destroyed by your immune system, like type 1, but you still do produce some insulin,like type 2, but its sometimes not enough and they expect you to eventually progress to being insulin dependent sooner than a type 2 would but not as quick as a type 1 would.... A bad illness or stress is suggested to trigger it but I also think there may be a link with GD aswell but that's just my opinion from people I've spoken to and things I've read. Some doctors believe it doesn't matter which type u have between type 2 and type 1.5 because treatment would be the same but more experienced specialists have shown that it does matter because if u treat a patient in the way u would treat a type 2 but they actually have type 1.5 you can actually exhaust the remaining beta cells quicker and accelerate the need for insulin dependency. If you are a type 2 diabetic then losing weight, changing diet and taking medication should definitely produce some sort of results and should definitely be bringing down your BG levels......the fact that this isn't happening with you to any large extent just makes me think there might be more to it than straight forward type 2 but I'm sure all will be revealed with the blood results then you will hopefully get the right treatment to get ur levels right down :-) Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
