[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1636081, member: 32394"] [USER=233899]@Vamppir8[/USER] if you had 4 and a half stone to loose, are you sure you're type 1? Ie have you had a confirmed antibody positive test? Have you had a cpeptide test to see what your endogenous insulin production is looking like? Just like it is possible for type 1s to be misdiagnosed as type 2 - [URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42179359[/URL] - occasionally type 2 can be misdiagnosed as type 1. If you didn't have clear type 1 symptoms on presentation - significant dramatic untried for weight loss pre diagnosis, blood sugar levels 30+, and high ketones on diagnosis - and you haven't had antibody testing (if you are GAD positive and diabetic you are definitely type 1, but if you are GAD negative it doesn't T mean you aren't type 1 as 25% of type 1s are GAD negative) you may wish to investigate.
