[QUOTE="Polgara, post: 156692, member: 24367"] My husband was diagnosed with late onset type one in January. He was 42 at the time, lost 2 1/2 stome in 4 weeks over Christmas and had fasting sugars of 20. His GP dagnosed him as type 2 on a Monday evening - no ketones present. He went back to the dr on the Wednesday morning to be started on medication. We sat through an hour of T2 talk from the practice nurse before she tested again for ketones just to be sure. It was +++, and so an emergency hospital admission for an insulin drip. He wasn't quite into DKA, but very close. [/QUOTE]
