I would appreciate some input here from those who know. It seems that the longer I have D, the less I get it. (5 months: 2 as type 2 then the last 3 months as type 1.5) I was put on metformin, then actos then Amyrl when they thought I was type 2. Then they discovered my almost nonexistent insulin level with high blood sugar and decided I was type 1.5 so pulled me off amryl and put me on insulin (lantus 6 units a day) So, my understanding was I was both type 1 (antibody positive) and type 2 (on oral meds for lack of appropriate insulin usage by my body). Now after seeing the endo again last week I think I am on a "honeymoon" period and that is why I am on lantus only (basal only, no bolus) Numbers have been good but slowly going higher. Avg for the last month was 89. I was told that I responded really well to the orals and so they keep me on them until my last 5 beta cells die off. Listening to this discusion it sounds odd that I am on both orals for type 2 and lantus for type 1 and odd that I am on basal but no bolus. I swear, the longer that I try to learn about D, the less I understand my case! Anyone else in my shoes?
