I'm Number One! Erg actually Type 1

Last Wednesday I got the not surprising, yet still devastating, news. I'm a type 1 diabetic. From what I've been reading I was never really type 2 as diagnosed 10 years ago. Type 1 in adults takes longer to fully develop. So I was in my "honeymoon phase". That's a crappy honeymoon. For the first four years, I lost 30 lbs, changed my diet, started running. Brought my A1c down. Optimism reigned!! Two years ago, my blood sugars started creeping up. My doc started me on low dose insulin. I asked for an endocrinologist referral. I was referred immediately, but not seen until last November. No bueno. She increased my insulin. Added a long acting insulin, too. I asked her to test me for type one. She waited until my next appointment to do it. So now I know. My sugars are for crap. I worry about DKA. I am afraid to eat - my blood sugars go through the roof. I've been approved for a dexcom and an Ommipod. I. Can't. Wait! I want to take this tiger by the tail. As much as I can. I'm feeling very much like my written diagnosis. Uncontrolled diabetes. I'm trying to stay healthy, and stay positive. I'm learning-a lot. I bought the book "Think Like A Pancreas". One day at a time. All I know is this sucks! e b e r
