Hello @christmasfairy1 . I echo what @EllieM said about getting to see an endocrinologist. I've just been on this journey following the same symptoms you experienced but without the pain. Once I got referred by my GP they quickly took control and organised CT/MRI scans which showed a large IPMN...

When I joined this forum a few years ago I was LADA and have recently become classified Type 3 after having my pancreas removed. Happy to share my experiences with anyone going through the same thing.

Thanks Circuspony. I have never plummeted, I imagine in might be quite scary. I am meeting my DN soon so will mention the infection aspect. regards, Chris

Hi Andy, thanks for your advice and spelling corrections! Your control sounds excellent. I am nowhere near that but am not taking any mealtime insulin. At the moment it seems that any carbs are causing big increases in BS and then taking a long time to come back. I looked at the some of the...

Thank you Daibell. I am just on Basal. I may have a small infection in my gums at the moment, I will try and find a link to my higher BS.

Thanks for this advice. I have a call with my DN and trying to get to see the doc tomorrow. Interestingly I am down to 7 after a carb free lunch and half an hour on the exercise bike, whereas yesterday I was very high after 30 mile cycle and similar lunch.

I have been LADA for over a year now. My Diabetic Nurse has been pleased with my improving HBa1c scores along the way. I inject 8 units Levemir at 10.30pm and exercise, eat sensibly and maintained my 12stone body weight since I became a 'thin' diabetic. My BS scores have always been the wrong...

Happy New Year everyone! I am thinking of travelling around Europe for a couple of months in our camper van. It has a fridge but cannot be relied on to keep my insulin pens continuously cold for the trip -the fridge only lasts 3 days before needing to hook up to mains electricity and we will be...

thank you, I will check it out

Hi All, My Diabetes UK D Tracker App, which I've been using since my diagnosis, doesn't work with Iphone IOS 11 and I get the impression from a quick google that is being made obsolete. I usually record Blood Sugar and what I've eaten (in note form). I can then scroll back to see my history...

Hi Andrew That is a a really good question and one I am not sure I am able to truly answer for you. I had never heard of LADA until my Diabetic Nurse suggested I might have it and sent me for blood tests. Mine came through in about 4 weeks and so I didn’t really prepare to receive the news. I...

I think you are right. I was peeing a lot too which was a symptom for me in the months leading up to my diagnosis.

Thanks for the advice. I will get back into the swing of testing rather than sailing on regardless. No other medications, just alcohol and lots of fresh air

Thanks for replying. I was stupid not to test. I think I was going through a mini denial and scared to test in case I had shot right up to levels that tell me the honeymoon period might be over.

I am type 1.5 LADA for last 18 months. I take 7 units of basal insulin once a day using Levemir Flexi Pen and have been generally been feeling fine for the past year since using it. I keep it in the fridge until I need a new one and then discard after a month Last week I felt really weird...

This is third time lucky for me in this event having missed the previous two with late injuries. I was lucky enough to get a ballot entry this year and had decided not to fundraise as I have previously, but coming back from a 100 mile round trip to Ditchling this week I got chatting to a bloke...

I try and keep to the 10.30PM my diabetic nurse advised. I asked recently if I should switch to another time and she said not

Thanks for sharing this. There is certainly huge variation in what we are all taking isn't there. I switched from top of leg to my stomach as I didn't seem to have enough flesh there. I too have the slim thing. I don't get lumps just an occasional bruise and once scarily a bit of blood but...

Thanks for sharing this. Sounds like your control is super tight - congratulations

Anyone picked up on this story reported by The Guardian? - it sounds very interesting. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/mar/27/high-fibre-diet-could-prevent-type-1-diabetes
