saw the doctor yesterday after a couple of months, and finally got some answers to some questions I have been worried about.
Firstly, he considers me a Type 1 diabetic. He said that the case could be made for me being a insulin-requiring Type 2, but that because I'm relatively young he chalked me up as Type 1. It's so good to have that cleared up.
Following on from this, he thinks I am in the honeymoon period. I'm still off insulin, and don't seem to need it as I'm controlling the diabetes and my diet tightly. He said he expects that I will have to go back on insulin at some stage, but that since I'm doing so well it could be up to a year before I need it. Yahoo!
I only need to see the doc again in December (if I want to), or other than that I can just carry on as I have been. Joy!
To celebrate I'm making low GI chocolate cake with my mom!!
