Hi there everyone my name is carol and i have just joined this site, i'm 27 and have just found out I have diabetes. I'm finding it really hard to handle, I had diabetes before but only in pregnancies and then it went away. But now 9 months later I have it back, but my diabetic doctor does not know which type I have for the simple fact that I had it three times in pregnancy and they say if you get it back it is type 2, but the thing is since having my son I have lost about 11 kilos in weight, and have always kept a healthy diet. So he says i may have type 1 but if so why didn't I get it before i had my children? I'm on tablets at the moment Gliclazide and i have to take two twice a day as one was not working for me, my sugars have been quite high even more so than when i was pregnant. In the mrnings pre-breakfast they read between 11 and 13mmol and after taking my tablet and having breakfast they're between 16 and 18mmol, can anyone give me some advice as to which type I could be as I wont know for about two weeks until my blood tests come back. Thankyou.
