I have been treated as a Type 2 since diagnosis as they said I was overweight and over 40 despite only having a bmi of 24I'm not completely sure as to what type I am. I've had some testing (C-pept. and anti-GAD) and they were inconclusive. My internist and I chose to not do further testing and go with the assumption I'm T1. Before I had those tests, I had been treated like a T1 for almost 2 years, just like you, so nothing really changed.
I see both my internist and my DN once a year, as I requested.
Losing weight on insulin apparently is very hard. I eat a lot less than before, and healthier choices too, but have gained a couple of kilo's since starting insulin. Looks pretty stable now, and although not happy about my bmi of 36 or so, I prefer healthy blood sugars over healthy weight.
Mine too.
Can you ask to be seen by an endo? I'm not sure what the problem with your HCP's is and why you can't see someone else.
Hope things'll get better for you in the near future!
I can call my DN whenever I want but have no specific appointment schedule
My GP has a nurse review once a year and i have been referred to an endo but they keep signing me off!
I am now up to 97 kilos and god only knows what my bmi is- I'm only 5'6"!
I agree with healthy blood sugars but the weight is a health issue as well as mental problem
Thank you
