Oh wow gosh what an experience for you that must have been! Pleased you are ok and got fast treatment! Thanks that is useful to know, I have spent the last 2 years feeling unwell and moaning at gps hehe so the opposite of you there hehe! They kept putting me on different meds that weren’t working, finally got referred to consultant Endo in Sept. He said on the phone that it’s an odd one that I’m making plenty insulin, but that I’m positive antibodies. He said if I get an infection likely to become very unwell fast. I didn’t know that DKA can come on that fast though! So I will be aware of that now. I do have finger test which I’m trying to do and log in the book to show the nurse in Jan, not going too high at mo it’s more going too low. I have been on much lower blood sugar levels for the last 6 weeks or so, 3.2-9 so I think if went very high again I would really feel it. Was on 24.9 before started med Repaglinide. It makes me produce insulin so I wonder if that impacts the cpeptide result? Guess they must know.
My grandmother was type 1 in her 30s, and all my other grandparents where type 2. My dad is type 2. I had gestational twice, in my twenties, one diet controlled, one insulin. So I’m not sure where I fit in it all.
