I don't understand why they haven't started him on insulin. Regardless of Type, he is clearly failing to metabolize that glucose with levels that high and losing weight and he is obviously doing everything within his power to bring them down.
Did they do a C-peptide test and do you know the results of the Type 1 tests he had done. Not just someone's interpretation, but actual numbers? I would be pushing for insulin regardless of anything else. He also needs to go easy on the workouts when levels are that high. Walking/gentle cycling/swimming is good but putting his body under strain of intensive work out when BG levels are mid teens or above is not recommended.
