Please also have your dr test for adult onset type 1 - they can test for whether your insulin levels are high or low,
and this will give some indication if it is
type 1 or
type 2. They can also test for antibodies.
Adult onset type 1 is more common in women who had gestational diabetes.
It the oral meds are not controlling blood sugars well, do not hesitate to ask your dr to let you go on insulin. Insulin makes control much easier and better compared to oral meds, in many cases.
