[QUOTE="Rachette, post: 1000315, member: 185909"] Hi SamMac Yes I think maybe it more common than we realise I was taken into hospital in March this year (suspected heart attack at 43!) during my week stay I was told I was Type 2 but put straight onto insulin (based on the fact they were still undecided on heart) In between march and May metformin was added. I would be considered by GP "text book T2" Over 40, Overweight (BMI 31 on diagnosis, sadly no sign of sudden weight loss pre diagnosis ;)) and inactive. Finally diagnosed in May as very definitely T1 through full blood tests and put onto basal/bolus regime so you see its not always as clear cut as it would seem. Sounds as though you are getting to grips with it far quicker than I did after 4 weeks though so well done to you and keep reading as much as you can on here as it really helps to sort out the confusion. The support is just amazing too. Rachel [/QUOTE]
