I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the spring of 2019 at the age of 31. I went to the doctor for unexplained weight loss of 15 lbs over a few months. Blood work came back with an A1C of 7.8%. Because of my lack of risk factors (healthy weight, active lifestyle) and history of Celiac...

Hi, I self-diagnosed high blood sugar about 8 years ago after a period of steadily losing weight. I was able to get my blood sugar under control by switching to a low-carb diet, but over the years my levels have been gradually increasing. I've made my diet stricter (it's very extreme now...

Hi all - long time lurker, first time poster. I am hoping to hear from other LADAs who became insulin dependent. I know there are several threads on weight gain, and that is certainly a concern. At this point I'm mostly wondering if I should be fighting to keep some of my Type-2 drugs along with...

Hi all, I know this forum isn't for diagnosing, but would value a few opinions... Basically, I'm wondering if I might be in the early stages of LADA. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in October 2020, and was easily able to control it with diet and exercise. But after returning to a...

I was diagnosed with LADA (late onset Type 1) in March but am not yet taking insulin. I've just had a C-Peptide test (taken 2 hours after a meal) and the result was 2.4 ng/ml. I have no appointment with the clinic until January and I have no idea what this number means relatively speaking...

Hi everyone! I had my endo app this morning and she was very confident in a type 1 diagnosis. I have been changed from Lantus to Levimir because of dropping at night and high during the day, carb counting with Novorapid and having a trial of Metformin. It’s taken over 10 years to get here...

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some wisdom here, rather than chasing my tail around the internet. The TLDR version is I was diagnosed as T2 after gestational diabetes. Held steady on LC diet for 10 years with small dose (40-80mg) Gliclazide. Before xmas things went haywire BG in 25+ range on...

Hi all, I've come for some advice after a rather unhelpful encounter with my GP. I was diagnosed with GD during my first pregnancy (approx 4 years ago) very late. Ate a 'normal' aka sugary diet after, stopped testing (as advised!) and HbA1c was 38/39. Told this was fine and not to worry. During...

Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with LADA in November in last year. I know a couple of T2 diabetics and a couple of T1 diabteics (including my dad) but I've never met or had the chance to talk to any fellow LADAs / 1.5s! I guess I'm just interested to know what everyone's stories are, how and...
