[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2090935, member: 475037"] Too many of us type 1's/LADA have been misdiagnosed as a type 2 originally. It stills happens all the time. Weight loss and immediate insulin use is more along the lines of a type 1. An antibody test and a C peptide test would help you know. And a problem with type 1/LADA is at the beginning you still make some insulin until you don't, so it makes dosing trickier. It is called the honeymoon phase. Going too low is a sign of too much insulin, but you mentioned it was after exercise. Exercise on insulin is a learning experience, you learn to compensate with less insulin. There is no set rules, you have to learn how you react. They always start you out at an easy dosing regimen, but if you call them with the fact that you dropped, I believe they will tell you an adjusted amount. What you will need to do is learn how to carb count and give dosing to what you eat. Here in the states if you don't make insulin it is considered a type 1. Antibodies don't always show up and there are some other categories. My diabetic nutritionist, doesn't have the antibodies but she makes no insulin and calls herself a type 1 Making no insulin is a type 1 thing, a type 2 is insulin resistant, and that just isn't hardly ever a type 1's issue. You had said you were overweight and sometimes that leads to a misdiagnosis even more, they just automatically class you as a type 2. You need the test done/results to know. [/QUOTE]
