[QUOTE="Suzysheppard, post: 2642049, member: 579863"] Hey type Oners Don’t know if I should post this here or in the LADA page but I have come to the conclusion that LADA is almost on the way to being T1D - I have RA and I think my misdiagnosis of T2D in 2020 occurred as my RA hadn’t been diagnosed then either - I thought my joint pain was left overs from smashing up my ankle a year earlier. So, I have an autoimmune RA (or lupus) and now they have decided that my pancreas is only producing minimal insulin (results of cpeptide) and thus I am now LADA and not T2D. This would explain my soaring blood sugar levels and the inability to get them down - however, I am really, really confused about T1D, how it is treated, what do I do to bring levels down. At moment I have been given a Levemir pen and have 32units of insulin in the morning. My blood sugars are still way out of control though - yesterday pre dinner I was on a rare 7.5 but hadn’t eaten since late breakfast (10am) ate dinner (5pm) and this rose to 16 and didn’t go down until about 2am. What am I doing wrong? Very limited carbs eaten (1 very thin slice of wholemeal toast with poached egg and 2 very small roast potatoes with dinner) and yet my blood sugars rose 9 mls! Any help much appreciated Thankyou [/QUOTE]
