Hi Elaine77
I was advised by my GP that my o set of T2 could have been triggered by stress. I was diagnosed back in 2010 and was 32. Without too many details I had had a tough time and after a climax of events a few weeks later I was diagnosed. No diabetes in the family so was a real shock. Am starting to think that I might be Type 1.5. Levels were really goo at the start but now am floating between 8 and 13. Currently on sr metformin and gliclazide. My DN wants me to start taking insulin but not sure. Doing lots of reading on here from other diabetics to make my mind up Stress is the only factor for me as to why I got T2 so dont fret you are not the only one. It bugged me for ages and I needed an answer as to why I got it. Still struggling 3 years on but find that this place helps a lot. Seems to be the only place where people understand.
