[QUOTE="jessica1612, post: 1990885, member: 296549"] Just to give an update to my situation. My blood sugar continued to be out of control and often just reading as 'HI'. On sunday after yet another hi reading I went in to A&E. They kept me in for 2 days and the doctors were appalled I had been like this for months and my GP wasn't doing anything. My blood sugar at the hospital was 38 mmol. Anyway I have had tests for type 1 and its positive. So at 58 years old I am officially type 1!! I am just relieved to find out a definite diagnosis, as I was trying to do LCHF and it wasn't working just felt a failure. I have started on insulin and feel loads better already. I have an appointment with the nurse at my surgery this afternoon - can't wait to see what she has to say, after she was so adamant and 100% positive I was type 2!! I am still going to eat low carb as I want to keep insulin use as low as I can. Just wanted to say if you are in a similar situation and getting nowhere with your GP, please go to A&E. I wished I had gone sooner. The doc just made me feel like I was wasting their time and NHS money. [/QUOTE]
