I was diagnosed at age 38 with type 1, and within a week of being diagnosed with diabetes, my doctor's discovered I had hyperthyroidism as well. I believe I had the hyperthyroid for quite some time, and didn't realize it. This did go away after about a year, but I believe it has come back. Will know by tomorrow. My internest told me he read recently that this is happening to more and more adults, and quite often they are not typical diabetic candidates. Apparently they have started classifying us as, '1.5'. :-) Is Lantus the new insulin I've heard about that you only have to use once a day? We can't get that in Canada yet. Good luck, Joanne Hi Pat,

My internest told me he read recently that this is happening to more
and more adults, and quite often they are not typical diabetic
candidates. Apparently they have started classifying us
as, ‘1.5′. Is Lantus the new insulin I’ve heard about that you only have to use
once a day? We can’t get that in Canada yet.
Good luck,
Joanne
