[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 492417, member: 21149"] You can be both T1 and T2 called double diabetes. This can happen when you are overweight and have insulin resistance and then the auto-immune aspect of T1 separately kicks in. If you are still overweight I would keep the carbs down to both reduce weight and help blood sugar control using perhaps a smaller amount of insulin over time. This will make it easier to get the balance right and minimise sugar swings. The hospital should have given you a GAD and c-peptide test when you kept have ketoacidosis and not just assuming T2; overweight T2s tend not to go into ketoacidosis that easily [/QUOTE]
