Welcome to the TuD forum. Sorry your introduction to us is due to a diabetes diagnosis. I have a few questions, if you don’t mind. Did your endo order any antibody tests? These are tests to detect an autoimmune attack on the pancreas. There are several antibody tests, maybe six, and not every T1D will test positive on all of them. Did you have a c-peptide test on your blood draw? The c-peptide is a measure of how much insulin your pancreas is currently producing.
The only reason I’m asking these questions is doctors can sometimes get the diagnosis wrong, even if it’s the second diagnosis as is your case. @Melitta has written a great deal about the misdiagnosis of adults as T2D when they’re really T1D. I’m not saying that’s your situation but Melitta’s writing on the topic answers a lot of questions. Here’s a link to one of Melitta’s posts:
Here’s another post by @Melitta that is packed with good info:
