[QUOTE="Courts_12, post: 2031782, member: 504533"] Hi, my name is Courtney. I am 22, weigh 65KG and I am 5ft5. I was newly diagnosed with diabetes last week after constant thrush since last year occurring every month, I went to the doctors for the third time. I get dry mouth constantly, I urinate frequently and I have had weight loss from Christmas from 86KG to 65KG. Luckily I got a new doctor who got me blood tests. My blood sugar levels were 27 and above so I was rushed into hospital. I am really new to this but the doctors were unsure what type I am so they have sent off for a blood test to check my pancreas to see if it is type 1 or type 2. I am confused as they are classing me as a type 2 for now so I am on metformin twice a day and gliclazide a full tablet a day. But the consultants said they thought I was definitely type 1 of an early onset but I have no ketones? Sorry about the lengthy post, but how do I control my blood sugar levels till I get my results back? I am ranging from 9.5 at the lowest up to 22 but I am trying to eat really healthy. And is there any way of knowing which type I definitely am? [/QUOTE]
