With the caveat that I am newly diagnosed, I'll try my best to explain.

Ketosis prone type 2 diabetes (sometimes referred to as flatbush diabetes) basically means I'm type 2 diabetic with the added bonus that I'm much more susceptible to DKA (I was newly diagnosed recently following a hospital admission for DKA).

Thank you - I've found several papers referring to this now. There may be people on here with experience as it seems to be at least in the same area as "Type 1.5" - it's not anything I know about or have experience of.

I've recently been diagnosed ketosis prone type 2 diabetic and am trying to fight this and go into remission. The literature i've read seems to indicate that type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition and those who achieve remission will eventually come out of remission and use insulin (10 years max).

I'm 25 years old so I am concerned about the progression of the disease in my lifetime. Does anyone know if it's possible to stay in remission for life with ketosis prone type 2 diabetes?


Thanks

I've had type 2 for 15 years and was about to start insulin injection. I pleaded with my specialist for another 3 myths to lose more weight and get my hba1c down from 8.9 to below 7.0. Trying hard I don't really want to have to take insulin if I can help it.

Welcome. What meds are you on and how are you trying to reduce bgl?

Most type 2 in here use low carbohydrates very successfully to do both. That’s all carbs of all colours, none of this brown is ok myth. Have a read of these posts and their links and you’ll have a good idea how we manage our diabetes
