What is a Mody???

I am wondering as I am thin as can be and diabetic. The difference for me is that I don't know of any relatives who were ever diagnosed with diabetes. I took prandin for a while but couldn't withstand the lows (I was constantly having to pop glucose tabs). I also tested okay regarding being type 1; meaning I'm supposedly not.

I'm interested in what you find out because I'm always wondering why they don't put me on insulin. Next time I am going to outright ask. I have never been below a 6.3 or so...no matter what I do (and I'm disciplined) I have highs.

I am on metformin (fast acting) and I really don't know if it's working. I'm very tired of it all...I try to stay positive but I can't help but get depressed at times as everybody is so into food and sweets. Today someone brought in a chocolate cake and I just had to admire it and nothing else. Do I have to live my remaining years never enjoying food? I try to get thrills out of lo carb stuff but I miss my mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, pizza, pasta, and cereal.

So, I will follow this thread to see what people have to say and good luck to you.
