And the Winner is...

Joey and I went to the doctor yesterday again for his diabetes.  We were thinking that we would get a for sure answer on if he is type 1 or type 2 and now we are still not clear.  His doctor says that he is still producing quite a bit of insulin and so he thinks that he is type 2 and we are proceeding with type 2 treatment.  However you can go through what they call a honeymoon faze where your pancreas still produces insulin but then stops, and if this is the case then he could end up being type 1.  Right now the goal is to get his blood sugar level down from what it is, which it starts out in the mid 300's and by the end of the day he sometimes is so high his meter doesn't even register a number which means he is over 500.  If you want to know how he is feeling he says he feels like crap, but he has been feeling like crap for about a month now and so he says he getting pretty use to it.  Some of his issues are he has a lot of joint pain, he still is peeing every hour, his muscles ache and he gets pretty tired fast, he also drinks all day and it never quenches his thirst. We go back next week to meet with the nutritionist, to see how to change our diet and learn how to carb count.
