It's not the same .....

@Justmeraeagain Absolutely...there is so little information out there about the different types of diabetes...it's frustrating

@Chern0bylplaygr0unds I did a deep dive into the different types of diabetes after I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia and a DKA there was some tests done to see if I might have what they call LADA, but nope I'm a diabetic 2.
They traced it back to the medication I was taking .
Jardanice.
But honestly unless you live the life of a diabetic one you're not going to fully get what it's like.

@Justmeraeagain so true

@Elessar no . It's a type of type 1 that can develop later on in adulthood..it's autoimmune...and often misdiagnosed as type 2 . Aka LADA

@Chern0bylplaygr0unds Gotcha. Still autoimmune but mistaken for 2 because it develops in adulthood

@Elessar basically.... there is a blood test that determines this ..for some reason most doctors here don't do it ....

@GoFish girl you better hide ....

@Chern0bylplaygr0unds yeah i know 😂 i'm still waiting myself (to be a grandma) 🤣
