[QUOTE="CC1, post: 2126471, member: 513019"] Hi Scott, I was originally diagnosed last October with type 2. So did the low carb diet and lost 4 stone. Gave me the kick to loose the weight I very much needed to loose. After 3 months my hba1 had come down quite significantly so all was going well until this summer when hba1 shot up from 69 to 125. All my bloods were good, cholesterol had gone down etc so I got a referral to the diabetes clinic. That's when they said I am slow onset type 1 and never thought I was type 2 at all so it's been a bit of a shock. The main thing I have to do is to up my carb intake a little over lunchtime as I've been having zero carbs for months on a lunchtime. I'm on 2 units of novorapid for now before each meal but they may put the units up a bit more once I've had my weekly phone call with the clinic. It's hard to remember to take it out with me as for e.g. today I've been running about picking up kids uniforms for school so been snacking on the go and not had a meal today. I need to have 3 meals a day and at regular times I guess. Thank you for the advice however I need it to become the norm and as part of my life but at the moment I'm 2 weeks in and it's a learning curve. [/QUOTE]
