type 1 or type 2?
Let's think of the following situation:
I was diagnosed as diabetic. I am over
30 years old. Not fat, exercise from time to time and no diabetes history in my family. How does the doctor decide if I am type 1 or type 2?
The lab test c-peptide can distinguish between the two.

Thanks Iris! I have had the
fructosamine test done only twice during my 64 years of diabetes. I wonder why it is not used more often. In your experience do doctors use this test frequently? It is a peculiar name for a 2-3 week BG average since fructose refers to the carb content in fruit. That has always been a puzzle to me.

I limit myself to 130g of
carbs per day, including holidays. Therefore I eat a small amount of dressing and gravy but lots of turkey. Turkey has no carbs. I will be full and satisfied. Then I repeat that meal the next two days. On the fourth and fifth days we have turkey hash, using the remaining turkey chopped up, dressing and gravy, all mixed together. I still keep my carbs at 130 per day and ...

I'd love to know the same thing. My husband and I are going out of town for a weekend in about ten days, and I was hoping to be able to have a couple of drinks while we're gone. However, I'm nervous about it now that I know I am a diabetic and on
metformin as well. Can someone please tell us if an occasional drink or two is safe on metformin?
