[QUOTE="Sky85, post: 2405735, member: 543773"] Hi all, 35 years old and newly diagnosed, but unsure about type. Started suspecting something was up in march. Eye sight (mostly in the right eye) would sometimes fluctuate in and out of focus. This felt more noticeable while eating candy. Had about one week where i felt extra thirsty and about one week where i had a rash behind both knees, but both of these symptoms (?) went away. I also had some weight loss, which i noticed in April, about 8-10 kg, from 115ish kg to 106ish kg (BMI 36.3 to 33.5). But I can't say how sudden it was, as I can't remember when I last weighed myself. But in general I have mostly been going upwards in weight these past years. I randomly tested my BS at a dinner party 2-3 years ago, where it showed 12 mmol/l, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Went to the doctor 3 weeks ago, with fasting BS @ 16.1 mmol/l and HbA1c @ 97 mmol/mol. He did a blood sample for C-peptide and put me on 1500mg Metformin (3x500mg daily). I went low carb diet from this point on, which seemed to get my BS down pretty quick (checking multiple times a day with glucose meter). Unfortunately, the blood sample spoiled and I had to do a new C-peptide 2 weeks later. Fasting BS was @ 4.4 mmol/l and HbA1c was @ 73 mmol/mol this time. I got results from the C-peptide test today, which was 0.60 nmol/l. My next doctor's appointment isn't for another week, but from what I can gather, the C-peptide result is pretty much in normal range. Not sure what to make of this? Or how to get a conclusive diagnosis? Even if my doctor would pick a type, I think I'd still be uncertain without something more conclusive? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
