So how long have you had diabetes? And did it develop quickly or did you have a good honeymoon period? As well as the possibility of LADA I also have type 2 in my family, hence the insulin resistance. Nothing I can do to prevent an autoimmune attack happening but at least I have some control over the Type 2.
It's interesting that you can have the antibodies but there's not necessarily an attack going on. I found out I had Hashi's and Addisons's via symptoms first, then antibody tests. But because of already having these 2 conditions, I was tested for GAD and was positive. Interesting that all three tests have different readings. 1st one 519, 2nd one 88, last one 154. Dunno if it means anything.
