New to the Board

[SuzannaOR]

[FONT="Lucida Console"]I have joined this forum as I am interested in participating on the type 1.5 board. I was misdiagnosed as a type 2 in 1997. I did fine for the first year on meds and exercise, but then everything went haywire. Lost weight to the point family was worried about me, and A1c skyrocketed. I was doing everything right ... diet and exercise, etc. Put on 3 different medications, but nothing helped. Tests showed I was making practically no insulin and I was then diagnosed as a type 1.5, LADA as I fit all the criteria. I've been on insulin almost 7 years and my A1c's have consistently been in the 6s.

Hehehehe for some reason, most of the new posters never change this when they sign up. I am wondering if it is an option that doesn't show up when you sign up the first time. I don't remember anymore.

Suz is DEFINITELY not a male. Not when I met her anyhow. :girl:

[SuzannaOR]

For some reason, I haven't been able to get into my profile to edit and change my gender! LOL I just get error messages. Oh well. I'll keep trying.:stupido3:

Hello and Welcome to the forums.

I also was misdiagnosed. Hopefully you can take control now that they have properly diagnosed you.

Welcome aboard :wavey:

If you can keep your A1C's in the 6's, who really cares' about the gender thing.

Gr8 Job!
