I was diagnosed 4 years ago with Lada Diabetes, for the first 2 years i attended the type 1 hospital, they then sent me to my local type 2 clinic. I started to develop diabetic complication nerve damage in my feet, however, the clinic was not concerned, over a period of time my doctor admitted she could not treat me, and was going to refer me back to the the type 1 hospital, to which they refused to see me, my doctor was banging her head in despair, then in December i started to get sore Kidneys, urine tests taken to which there was a lot lot of blood and protein, the type 2 nurse me i need to see a doctor and get referred to a type 1 hospital and since the nearest one refused to see me, she said ask to get referred to a different one, before i left i asked to see what actual diagnose they had me down for my diabetes, she showed me her computer screen and it said Lada Diabetes Type 1. she made me an appointment to see a doctor for me to ask to get referred. I saw a different doctor she asked about hypos etc, however i told her i also feel unwell when suger levels are rising, the doctor told me i was talking **** and that she deal with a lot of diabetics and none of them experience feeling the suger levels rising, i said maybe because you deal with type 2 diabectics, she then said you are a type told i told her i was not and have a look at my recorded diagnose, which she did then told me she was changing that to which she did, and also deleted the Gada results to prove my diagnose.. I have been to the hospital for kidneys since, to which they have told me the blood in my urine is caused by a diabetic leak, and there is nothing they can do, so i have to now go back to doctors and ask what the next step is, however, i have been fighting with them over the last 2 years for them to do something as i have nerve damage in my legs as well which affects my walking, so i know they will not be interested in the diabetic leak, however the hospital, told me if my sugar levels do not get controlled it will cause kidney failure eventually. I am so sick of the lack of treatment and my own doctors words were they d not recognize Lada, and that they only treat either type 1 or 2. Anybody got any idea what i can do, firstly in respect of the Doctor that changed and deleted my diagnose and Gada results, secondly how do i approach the doctors in regards to the diabetic leak .
