Hello,
At 37 years, with 22mmol BG and producing near zero levels if insulin, I was diagnosed with T1. It was a very stressful period: work, moving, Xmas etc. I was initially prescribed lantus and kept upping the levels whilst monitoring my BG which were between 13 and 14. This was last year, on diagnosis my HBA1C was 108. A month later, my consultant ordered some tests, bloods, kidney function and also requested that I skip my insulin and take a carb heavy meal an hour prior to the blood test. It turned out that I was indeed producing a lot of insulin so I was introduced to metformin and was instructed to wean myself off insulin. Within a week I was off insulin and on 2 x 500mg of metformin per day. On my 3 month review, my HBA1c was 42, I had lost a bit of body fat (not lots of weights as I pump weights). The consultant says I must have had an ‘episode’. My diagnosis was changed to T2 and been told to stay on metformin for the rest of my life despite my HBA1c ( according to the consultant, studies have shown that diabetics who stop metformin are more prone to carcinomas and I am on a very low dose anyway - his words). The consultant also mentioned that due to the way my body was responding when I was diagnosed, I MIGHT end up on insulin down the line. At the moment, just like all of us here, I try to stay healthy. I have started running and cycling again, I eat healthier (we all have those days when we slip). Hopefully you will find a definitive answer to your body’s response. It could be you are on honeymoon period it could be you have been misdiagnosed. Good luck
