[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 861707, member: 91575"] Hi Nybrid I am much the same as you, but diagnosed a little earlier and a little older. Have a read of my 'can I prove the Drs wrong post in the LADA forum section [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/can-i-prove-the-drs-wrong.53061/[/URL] I often have BG levels below 4, quite a few 3.2s. My hospital DSN says not to worry at all (because I am not on meds). I have read some non diabetics have measured their BG into the low 2s.... So we are no more likely to hypo than a normal non diabetic if we are not on meds. I was on Metformin and advised to stop taking them when diagnosed LADA. C-pepside test would be useful, in that it will,tell,you how much insulin you are making. But my Dr said as it would not make any difference to my treatment he did not want to do one, which I accepted .... But shame in a way because I would love to know what my insulin level is now compared to a year ago (higher, lower same???? - who knows). Dr Bernstein book diabetic solution is a god informative read. Around £5 on kindle and iBook and you can download the first few chapters free. Another good book is Dr Trudi Deakins eat fat. [/QUOTE]
