[QUOTE="azure, post: 1446024, member: 39639"] [USER=394996]@HLC2017[/USER] Hi :) My thought (as a non-medical layperson) is that you had Type 1 all along. There are a number of women here who,were told they had GD but turned out to have Type 1. It seems to be quite common. So my advice is to put the GD out of your mind. Type 1 is a pain but it can be controlled. You don't need to eat very low carb to control it. Most Type 1s eat moderate carbs and find their own level :) I highly recommend the book Think Like A Pancreas too. It's written in a chatty style but has a lot of really helpful info. For help coming to,terms with Type 1, I think the only real answer is time. I felt angry, upset, confused, depressed - any number of emotions - but it does gradually get easier. You're not alone :) [/QUOTE]
