So. Last month I was diagnosed as Type 2, and immediately placed on insulin without any other meds.
After increasing the dose several times (and the odd user error or 3), insulin works great for me! So great, in fact, that I can no longer imagine trying to function without it.
And now that I've learned a few things, oral meds have sorta lost their charms.
Which, taken all together, brought up a weird thought: Am I really a Type 2?
So I emailed my doc for confirmation. Turns out I'm a presumed Type 2. No further tests were taken at the hospital. But, now that I've asked, she's ordered up GAD and c-peptide and internal insulin tests for me.
These are fasting tests. No prob! But ... I have to get myself back up to 200-300 BGL to take them.
Two Semi-Rhetorical Questions:
1. Is this worth making myself high again after all of my work?
2. Why did I have to be the one to bring this up???
