I was diagnosed a little over a month ago. My BS was 600. I didn't have insurance, so the clinic I went to sent me home with instructions to "lower blood sugar to 150" hmph. The also told me "of course you're a type 2, you're an adult (i am 31)" A week later (and after trying type 2 meds with no response) a blood test confirmed I am Type 1. Crazy crazy stuff...
