[quote=Anonymous]I would buy an OTC CGM - you just go on online and order it and it will come in the mail in a few days. It will give you a reading every five minutes for 10 days.  That will keep you a full picture of what you’re dealing with.

My daughter is a stage two type 1 diabetic - her A1c is around a 6, she is not yet insulin dependent and she recovers pretty well from meals on her own. She does struggle with high carb meals, particularly at dinner time when she is less active.  She does consistently wake up around 120 which is not at all normal.  That was one of her first symptoms.

You should read about MODY and LADA and also be aware of that type one can start at any age, so you are not too old for just regular type one diabetes either.

As an FYI there are drug trials and one approved drug to help delay onset for type diabetics in stages 2 and 3, but they only for for type 1 diabetes, not MODY or LADA. Google Tzield for the drug and if you figure anything out and need advice or are looking for my T1D info, check out the breakthrough T1D website and also the Juicebox podcast (there is a related Facebook group that is very helpful)[/quote]
