[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 2017069, member: 30007"] 7-11 litres of water a day is still a huge amount of liquid [USER=502461]@Veronica Wright[/USER]. It's possible that prior to going on insulin, your glucose levels were so high that you were drinking a lot and flushing it straight through. Insulin may be adjusting that balance, and you may simply not need as much water as you used to. I do think you ought to be talking to your Diabetes team about c-peptide tests though, as your symptoms suggest LADA or adult onset type 1 rather than type 2 diabetes. [/QUOTE]
