[QUOTE="JAT1, post: 2036481, member: 490842"] Welcome to the forum ! I was diagnosed last summer initially as Type 2 because of my age even though I am very thin. I was 63 ! I was prescribed a truck-load of medication that didn't work and which harmed me according to the liver specialist I was referred to. Eventually I saw an endocrinologist who diagnosed me as type 1. Once on insulin, my life turned 'round. Took me some getting used to what foods sky-rocket my blood sugar, what's working for me foodwise and about insulin doses. Now it's just part of the daily routine. This forum gives me the knowledge I need. I lost all confidence in my general doctor and will never go back to him. When I told him the endo said I was type 1, he said I must have had it from childhood and didn't know ! There's always more to learn and it's fascinating. Best of luck with your journey. [/QUOTE]
