Hello all, I went in for a physical last week and it was discovered that I had blood sugar level of 320 and an A1C of 11. The doctor said those levels were in line with type 2 diabetes. This was very surprising because I am in my 30s, am a normal weight, exercise, and eat healthy. I started testing my blood sugar and taking Metformin and long lasting insulin last week to get my blood sugar under control. The doctor took another blood test to rule out type 1. She called me back today to tell me that my GAD lvl is 93 which means that I am a type 1 diabetic. I am pretty shocked with this recent turn of events. I want to learn as much as possible and am hoping that you all have some advice and resources. I am going to an endocrinologist at the end of August and my doctor is already mentioning getting an insulin pump. I already eat Paleo, for the most part, and stay away from grains and sugar. Looking for diet advice, I have added back some dairy and further cut my carb intake. Ugh, this is just a lot to take in. To add another complication, my husband and I just decided to try to get pregnant. We have put that on hold for now until my blood sugar is under control.
