[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2129125, member: 345386"] Hi [USER=514165]@stevew242[/USER] - Sounds like you've been through the mill a bit of late. As you probably learned last time around, one of the infuriating things about diabetes is how personalised and fickle it can be. One person might be able to achieve very different blood sugar results, just by tweaking their food intake manimally, and another could need powerful meds to achieve the same thing. My suggestion to you would be to wipe the slate clean of what might or might not have happened and focus on making positive changes. One big word of warning would be to ensure you are testing, testing and testing when making changes to your regime, in order to ensure you remain safe and your blood sugars remain at safe levels. I'm not suggesting a blood sugar of 17 is safe, over rthe longer term, but hopefully as the tweaks come into place, those numbers will moderate. Have the medics talked about doing some tests to ensure your T2 diagnosis is accurate and it isn't a slow developing variant on T1? On a highely generalised, broad brush stroke (and any other cliches you care ot use) basis, T2s tend to increase in weight when their condition regresses, whereas T1 tend to lose. Several T1s are insulin resistant to varying extents. Do you take Metformin to help ease the insulin resistance? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm good on questions. :) [/QUOTE]
