I was diagnosed 12 months ago this Friday January 6th,  I was suspected of being a type 2 due to my age of 42 and being about 20 pounds heavy according to the CDC charts.  I was not fat heavy, but muscle heavy because of the competitive mountain bike racing I was involved in.  With my success of bringing my sugars in line in just the first 6 weeks, the Endo did not start me on insulin.  I am still not on Insulin and am not currently taking any meds, as long as I excercise vigorously my bs numbers are in the 70 - 90 range.  I am starting to see more and more 90-115 numbers and expect that my honeymoon is slowly runing out.  I must admit that I am SCARED,  I can go out and ride my bike currently with nothing more than a yogurt breakfast bar, and not worry about going low.  I know that this will all change when the insulin starts and I worry about being 40 miles from home on my road bike and having a significant low.  I hope they figure out a better sollution soon, I am afraid I will use the T1D as an excuse to not ride as much.  This I am sure will start the vicious cycle of high bs numbers and weight gain and depression and on and on.
