So, back on Feb 10th, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. My BGL was in the high 300's and my A1C was at 15.4. I came on to this site and others and tried to learn as much as possible about it. I changed my diet to where I was taking in about 25-40 carbs per day. No sugar substitutes. I saw my BGL go from the 300 range in the beginning, down to the 160 range on average now. I cannot seem to get any lower. I am doing diet and exercise alone. I went to see my dietitian on Monday and she was almost certain that I was not Type 2. She had me get another blood test done and this time ordered some sort of anti-body test. The results came back today and sure enough, I am Type 1. I will be picking up my insulin at the pharmacy and making an appointment with an Endo. I guess I am at least glad to know what I am, so I can address it. I will still continue eating healthy and working out as that makes me feel better anyway. The wonderful people on this forum do make me feel that I can handle any form of diabetes. Any advice on Type 1 challenges is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy
