I am 49 years old, always been thin.  Since my diagnosis I have put on
weight but I'm still not heavy enough to say I am overweight.  The first
year I guess they assumed it was Type 2 because of my age.  We tried all
meds and diet but my numbers kept getting higher and higher.  They finally
realized I had to be on insulin.  Within a year I was up to 4 plus
injections a day.  Guess I should have explained that.
Thanks for your reply.
