[QUOTE="Lynnzhealth, post: 2080689, member: 436056"] I was diagnosed T2 in March 2017, at age 69. I controlled my sugars by following the LCHF regime, no meds. Then in early May I had a very severe episode of DKA, Diabetic Ketoacidosis and spent 4.5 days in the hospital recovering. I was put on insulin and IV treatment. The specialist told me I didn't present as a T2, but as a T1, but it was very rare to have DKA at my age as a T2. I'm on insulin awaiting the results of the blood work to test for antibodies, etc. The insulin was reduced even further yesterday because I've been having lows two/three times a day/night. My physician did not pick up on anything, nor did the diabetic educator and both knew my blood sugars were spiking for no reason at all before I had to be hospitalized. I will be very interested in finding out which type I am and what treatment is needed. While I was hospitalized I was fed an 'ordinary' diet and that set me back. I really have to cut back on the carbs (which I'm told is very necessary for my body [old school thinking]). The struggle is real and I feel for all trying to get a true diagnosis. It's sad that many of the med professionals still follow the unhealthy way of treating this disease. Good luck to everyone. [/QUOTE]
