[QUOTE="xsarndwich, post: 1059702, member: 269506"] Hi all As a newbie, hoping I can benefit from the wisdom of forum members! I was diagnosed T1 ten days ago. Presented at A&E with raging thirst, all peed out (sorry, too much info) and Blood Glucose of 18 and Ketones. Bingo! T1 Diagnosed. I'm 45, not especially overweight, no particular recent weight loss. At the time I explained family history (the consultant didn't believe me): - Mother diagnosed at age 60, initially on insulin control (3 months) then diet controlled for 12 years (T2) - Brother diagnosed around 40yrs as T2 - diet controlled for 17 years until recently - within last 18 months (Metformin) So here's the thing.... The medics (who are largely wonderful) are pretty adamant I have T1. I'm injecting Humalog and Humalin. Today though I got my GAD results: 0.2. (bloods taken whilst in hospital a week ago) Medics seem still to be convinced I'm T1. Recommended carrying on with current treatment until I can see the consultant in a few months. Slightly confused :o/ Any advice welcome. Thanks! C [/QUOTE]
