Prediabetes Pre diabetes’s

[Steveg1]

Hi I was told by the doctor I was pre diabetic I looked it up I been on low carb my blood when checked by the doctor was 42 mmol. It is now down I. A morning to 8.5. Sometimes been 5.5 but average 8. Not sure understand if insulin resistance I making too much cut out carbs. Type 2 but type 1 is that when you don’t have enough sugar how do I know if I’m heading type 2 or type 1 or can I reverse it by diet and exercise
Thanks Steve

If you are not injecting insulin then you are type 2. Type 1's cannot produce insulin so they have to inject it. Type 2's produce some insulin or have insulin resistance but the majority of them get by without injecting.
