[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2380069, member: 475037"] I agree [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] Keep in mind type 1 is possible. I realize you had weight gain and depression, but a couple of things send up red flags.Your age, ketosis and the need for insulin so quickly. Ketosis happens usually in a type 1, not a type 2. But it can happen in a type 2, it's just rare, I've included a link for that below. Ketoacidosis happens when you have high blood sugar and you don't have enough insulin. A type 2 rarely gets it because they make insulin, they just don't utilize it well. But because they make some, it usually prevents DKA. A type 1 doesn't make insulin but when you are first developing type 1 your production slows and is erratic until it stops all together. An antibody tests shows if you have the antibodies that are attacking your beta cells which produce insulin. If that is positive it's a sign of being a type 1. A few type 1's test negative but still don't make insulin and they don't know why. A C-peptide test is the next important test as it measures your production of insulin. It's a product that shows up when you make insulin not take it. A high or high normal is a sign of type 2, because they make insulin, they just don't utilize it well. A low or low normal is a sign of a type 1 because you are losing or have loss the ability to make insulin. 38% of type 1's are misdiagnosed as a type 2 at first. Once you are a little overweight they love to put you in the category of type 2 and not do the testing. I'm not saying you are a type 1, but I am saying that when things don't make sense, maybe you need the tests to make sure of what is going on. There are different treatment plans for a type 1 and a type 2, so it makes a difference knowing what you are. Life expectancy seems to be really geared towards your control of your blood sugars. High blood sugars do damage over time, so the thought is, control your BG level and you control the complications that go with it.
