Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to say hello. My name is Sarah and I was diagnosed officially last Friday as type 1 (LADA as I'm 36) I had an inkling as I've been feeling off for 6 months now, although my hba1c was only in the diabetic range I didn't meet the criteria for type 2, so I was sent for a GAD test. My results came back as Strong positive and have been put on insulin. I was being treated for type 2 a few weeks ago. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and the support and information on this forum have been very useful. I'm currently on my 2nd day of "background" insulin and reading through the forums it amazes me how each and every bodies treatment is completely different. Although I have a type 1 sister, I have an awful lot to learn and look forward to going through this journey with you guys
