I was diagnosed as a type 2. I'm 27 and I weigh 144. At the time of diagnosis, my sugar level was 300. I was put on Januvia and glyburide. My AIC count was 9.5
I've been eating pretty good and exercising a lot. I've been eating slow digesting carbs, little fat, high protein. I have cheat days now and then, but I'm working on getting better at it.
I saw my endocrinologist yesterday. I told her my morning levels were 180-200. She still wants to keep me on Januvia and glyburide with and extra does of glyburide in the morning.
I've been reading a lot on type 1.5. I was told my another doctor that I should consider going on insulin.
I'd rather be on insulin. I'm sick of having high numbers. I know insulin can control my diabetes and make me feel a whole lot better
My doctor doesn't want to put me on it and is convinced that I am a type 2. My family has lots of reasons why I shouldn't go on insulin. One of them being that the cost of my insurance will go up if I'm on it
I think it's time for a new endocrinologist who will listen to me.
