Message: <blockquote data-quote="LionChild" data-source="post: 2764069" data-attributes="member: 461457">I had a similar experience.  I was initially diagnosed as Type 2,  (refused metformin),  for 2 years I tried to get blood glucose levels down via food and exercise, then, suddenly blood glucose flew up to 120.  Particularly in the mornings I started dragging my feet in an odd way.............. I had taken a urine sample to the doctor's appointment (my initiative, it was not asked for),  the GP detected there were a high number of Ketones, & I was therefore rushed into hospital literally from the GP's room, with DKA, I was in for 5 days on drips, & came out with a diagnosis of Type 1.   And I also had to request at a later date a c- peptide test, (in the end I had to persistent about that to get it done!),    as I believed I was still producing insulin for a couple of years or so after the diagnosis, and wanted that information....but obviously I was not producing enough.   Eventually, of course----as of now----I have no insulin of my own at all.</blockquote>
