[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2216721, member: 372717"] Excellent. Like everyone else, I think your symptoms sound as though T1 is a possibility. Unfortunately some doctors assume T2 for all new adult diabetics, even though half of T1s get diagnosed as an adult. Look at it this way : if it's T2 then you are likely to be able to keep it under control by reducing carbs. (And blaming your diet for causing it is a bit like someone who has just discovered that they have coeliac's disease blaming themselves for having eaten bread). If it's T1 then you can console yourself with the thought that there is nothing you could have done to avoid it and you will have more dietary freedom than a T2 Good luck. [/QUOTE]
