During this time things go smoothly because your pancreas is still producing some insulin on demand. At times symptom of diab. seem to disappear.

Gail Ohhhhh, well I was diagnoised when I was 23 but to this day they were confused as to whether I was a type 1 or 2. I was so out of control when they finally dx me that it was my bgyn who said I had diabetes and sent me to Houston and it was confirmed. I am now 41 and just now under control. I had a series of not so good doctors. My doctor in Houston who is from SOUTH AFRICA has really helped me alot. The feeling is that I was diabetic as a <!--more--> kid and no one picked up on it. So I had often came across doctors not knowing what to do with me. I did go through a big denial time at least a two year period. But I did also experience a time after having my hysterectomy of no symptoms. My body was under so much stress from the trama of my female problems that it is most likely why I had so many high bgs. So that make sense that things would seem more normal when I got rid of the bad stuff. Oh well I have babbled enough LOL !!
