Being underweight and the dramatic weight loss you describe is more typical of type 1 than type 2 diabetes. The very high reading you mentioned in a different thread (475) also suggests type 1. At that level, you risk going into keto acidosis, a dangerous condition T1s avoid at all costs. And, even if you tested negative for the antibodies, you could still be T1.
The reason for me raising this is that very different treatments are required for T1 and T2. T1.5 is often misdiagnosed as T2. And T2 medications would accelerate the onset of T1. So you may want to double check this ...

Thanks for all your info,what is t1.5 ?? I am checking for ketones daily and negative.Do all diabetics do this ?will i have to do it for ever ?
I will take your advice and push for a positive diagnosis,but it is early days and they are still not sure which it is ,i think they are seeing how i do on these meds,will my response to the meds help them decide which type i am ?
thanks
