[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 660771, member: 21149"] Hi. I agree with Andrew that it's possible you are a Late onset T1 (LADA) and not T2. I was mis-diagnosed and I was always thin. Do ask the GP for a GAD and c-peptide test. Your high HBa1C and low weight are strong pointers to LADA. Do keep monitoring your blood sugar and ensure you have enough water. It you are a LADA then you need to expect to progress on towards higher medication; the rate can vary a lot. BTW as you are having problems with Metformin do ask for the Slow Release (SR) version. Note that you can get into a vicious circle as I did taking extra carbs to try to gain weight and pushing blood sugar way up. Continue to keep the carbs down but add extra protein and fat as needed.
