[QUOTE="LyndsayM, post: 2050525, member: 506470"] Morning all. I was diagnosed last week with type 1 aged 42 and am a complete mess. Apparently I was very unwell but my friend is a diabetic nurse and she called it-even though the GP said it was type 2. 3 days in and out of hospital with BG and ketones going through the roof and bam! Here’s your insulin for the rest of your life. My Hb1ac was 111, BG 24 and ketones near 3 and I’d lost 10 kgs, how on earth the GP thought type 2 beats me. I had breast cancer 3 years ago and my, that was a walk in the park compared to how I’m feeling now, emotions all over the place and also jittery due to thyroid going into overdrive. I’m desperate to talk to people who have been diagnosed at this stage in life-anyone i know with type 1 have had it from childhood and have had years to get used to it. Right now it’s all a bit overwhelming. Edited by Mod [/QUOTE]
