[QUOTE="Covichuela, post: 911272, member: 194228"] Hello everybody. This is the first time I write a post in a Diabetes forum… I wonder if someone could help me… I have been diagnosed almost one year ago with Diabetes. I am a 29 years old girl, skinny, apparently healthy and with really good cholesterol levels.. Last year in May I did a blood test, due to an anaemia and a low vitamin D levels. I forgot to go for the results and I come back home for holidays (Spain). When I come back in September my doctor wanted to repeat that blood test because I had Pre-Diabetes... The results confirm I had diabetes, but they didn´t know which type. I mean, they said I was Type 2 but they ordered an antibody test to see if I was LADA. on February I come back to my GP to see the results and he didn´t understand them… It took me weeks to book an appointment with a doctor specialized in Diabetes. Finally in April I was told I had Diabetes type 2. The antibody test were negative. They gave me a copy with the numbers but I am not a doctor! I didn´t have any clue about them. Anyway, in June I had an appointment with the nurse and she was very shock when I told her I was type 2. She insisted I should be LADA, my weight is 49 kgs. Last week I went to see a doctor in the hospital, after almost one year of my diagnosed. She told me I had Gad antibodies positive. I am LADA. I am confused. Why two different doctors say different things with the same results??? I checked online, but it´s a bit confused to interpreter the numbers. I know there are probably people like me here, and If I am lucky enough, maybe someone got the same results than me and can explain which type I am. I am a bit desperate… So, there it is: C-Peptide: 312 pmol/ Insulin: 4.7 mu/L Islett Cell antibodies: Negative Anti-GAD antibodies: 308 kU/L Thank you very much. I appreciate all the feedback. Kind regards, Cova [/QUOTE]
