hello, am very glad you're seeing a diabetic dr. I totally disagree that you just need to change your diet. Hope you can get to the bottom of this (reckon you may need to be back on insulin) really soon. Hang in there.

Thanks Sally. I kept asking him if I'm Type 2 and he said it wasn't that severe, which doesn't make sense to me. He also said I definitely don't need to go on insulin. He said I have the kind that goes away when you lose weight and exercise.

I've had a couple of fasting BG's over 7, and an HbA1C of 7.2 indicates that my BS is high.

My research and his opinion do not seem to correlate. I think he's comparing me to other patients he's had who are very overweight and have very uncontrolled BS's, and in light of that I'm a "mild" case, but of course I don't have that perspective and my case is the most important diabetic case that has ever existed in my life!

Hi,
you don't sound like type 2 to me. You sound like adult onset type 1, which can be fairly slowly progressive. When do you see the new dr? Sooner than later, I hope.
Let us know how you go.
