Hello and welcome to DF! Have you had a C-peptide done to determine your insulin level? Or did your Dr automatically assume that since you are an adult you "must" be T2 since T1 is juvenile diabetes? T1 can happen to adults as well. I recommend getting some tests done to see where you are at.

Also what is your diet or food plan like? Have you cut back on the carbs? Breads, rice, pasta, and potatoes are all forms of high levels of carbs.
