Hi everyone and thanks for the add. Hoping to get a bit of advice. I was diagnosed with T2 30 years ago and am now 63. Originally I was diet controlled but had to start metformin to keep things under control. I was on metformin till last year when I was told I could come off it and go back to being diet controlled which was brilliant news. A couple of months ago my hba1c was coming back slightly raised but not enough to be a concern. 2 weeks ago I was asked to do some finger prick testing at home as my hba1c was still increasing. My BSL’s were coming back around 12 to 13 but I also had them coming in low at around 3.9. The diabetic nurse now thinks I’m possibly T1. I have to go for a “special” blood test to test my antibodies and see what’s happening. Anyway the advice I’m asking is how much of a game changer is this if it does come back T1. I don’t drink, don’t smoke and my diet is good. I’m actually quite scared at the moment as there was a lot of “umming “ and “ahhhing” from the diabetes nurse.
