[QUOTE="Streety, post: 1393372, member: 219343"] Hello Q, I am LADA and non-insulin dependant. I take Forxiga and victoza which help manage my blood sugar levels. I find managing LADA easier to deal with than my GDM. I was insulin dependant with my last pregnancy and my levels kept rising, not responding to diet. I also had a low while pregnant which while a bit daunting was fine. I had explained to my husband what the symptoms looked like and he made me drink some fizzy drink to get my sugars up, even though I had a personality change during the low and was resisting him telling me I was low. He was right of course. I had a natural delivery. They induced the baby and she was not huge - just a lovely 8lb. Our public system here kept wanting to ceasar me which I was against. I found I was more emotional during this pregnancy. I'm sure you'll bear in mind that I am much older, my daughter is 5 now and I was 41 when I had her. I feel I would have been much better informed had I known about this forum back then. I would have gone extremely low carb. My personal belief that what speeds up insulin dependence is not pregnancy. I have now excellent BSs with what is minimal medication. What I do think hurts diabetics is stress. I think there is a lot that exposure to cortisol and adrenalin over long periods of time does that triggers the trip from pre-diabetes to LADA. [/QUOTE]
