[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2383867, member: 475901"] Yes it matters. Some GP surgeries are not up-to-date on later onset T1 or 1.5. As for meds - that is your choice. I told my GP I wanted to try low carb first and he agreed but the first time I saw his nurse she assumed he'd forgotten to write up both metformin and a statin. By 3 mths I clearly didn't need either. I still had a residual fasting rise but that also resolved as I cut carbs a little more. The dietician wouldn't agree that low carb was the best way even when I showed her my blood test results - telling me I wasn't eating enough carbs, that I needed bread & cereals for fibre and that I shouldn't be testing my blood myself. I saw her once to keep them quiet and rejected a follow-up. The nurse was so impressed with my test results she followed up on the information I'd presented the first time. BTW - as I eat more green veg then I used to plus flaxseed and chia seeds my fibre intake is fine. [/QUOTE]
