[QUOTE="taowen, post: 782252, member: 163078"] Hi all My first post on here. I am 32 years old. November last year I was hospitalised with fever of unknown origin my blood glucose before was normal as was testing for work. During my stay in hospital glucose was discovered in my urine and bm hitting 18 at one point. From that night I stopped sugary drinks watched what I ate but was still getting fasting levels between 8 - 10. I finally got to see a consultant was put on 1g metformin a day which stopped after food spikes but fasting still up. Due to side effects I was put on sitigliptin and I'm currently titrating upto 100mg. My GAD was negative and anti islets were negative which consultant says rules out LADA. I am still getting high fasting and post meals of 7 - 10. I am following the diet advice and limiting my carbs. I've emailed my consultant who's suggesting basal insulin. I just feel it's been very quick to go from diagnosis to needing insulin. Any advice or ideas would be welcom. Thank you. Tom [/QUOTE]
