I was officially diagnosed with T1 one month ago. I am 30 years old. My BG was 657. I had been tested 2 years ago and was positive then but the doctor "mis-read" my numbers (315 at the time) and told me I was negative. After 2 years of problems, I went back in and insisted on another test. A different doctor confirmed that I had/have diabetes but wasn't sure if it was T1 or T2. My new doctor confirmed T1. I've lost 20 pounds in less than a year, had excessive thirst, was eating 5000+ calories/day - list goes on. I'm taking Lantus & Novolog - now to get my BG down to "normal" (still in the high 200's or low 300's). My endocrinologist estimates that I've had symptoms for 6+ years.
