@chocolate5lover That's interesting, I've never heard of that. Our bodies are all so different though, that we all have varying reactions to things. The exercise problem is not too surprising but I did think that was more of a problem with type 1. I exercise and have never had any problem at all. Are you on insulin?

I was on insulin when I was first diagnosed, but I kept passing out--so the Dr. stopped the insulin. I was supposed to take 20 units the first day--and my Nurse Practitioner wife suggested we start with just 2 units, because she knew that I had unusual reactions to med's. I passed out with just 2 units of insulin. Now I am on 850mg Metformin twice a day, no insulin. I strongly suspect that I may have the Autoimmune Diabetes, I believe it is called. They also call it 1.5 Diabetes for a shorter name. I read about it on the Mayo Clinic Newsletter I get through my e-mail. The treatment is mostly the same, the only difference is that eventually you will need insulin to control it; and most people who have it are misdiagnosed as a type 2 diabetic at first. I take it one day at a time, with a whole lot of prayer mixed in and leave the rest to the Lord!!!!
