| Welcome Daniel,
Sadly, your story isn't terribly uncommon. I'm really glad you found this place to get some help. Advice from a doctor is great, but it's not safe to let that stand alone as you have learned.
I can't advise any better than xMenace (John) has about dying beta cells, etc. I just know that you want to eventually get your post prandial numbers down to a very good range . . . like 100. Some aim for under 140, but to me, that's too high. I'm impressed with how often you are testing and your amazing action to take care of yourself.
I was very obviously type 1 when diagnosed at 18. I guess if I'd been 19 or 20, I'd have been diagnosed as type 2 and given a bunch of pills. Thankfully, there is a bit more understanding of the fact that type 1 can happen after age 18!
