- Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
Sorry to hear that. Have you had any luck getting your appointment with a diabetes specialist brought forward, as suggested here?I am on metformin (3x500 mg perday) and staglipina (100mg in the morning). I try to eat low carb but it´s so hard!!! Everything has carbs on it!! Sometimes, even if I have no carbs for dinner (let´s say boiled eggs) my levels are aroung 9-10... My last Hba1C was 7%.... I think I´ll need insulin soon...

Here is some info about the benefits of insulin for T2s, which I think also applies to LADA:

If you like, you could start a new thread in the low carb diet subforum and we can help you with the specifics of low carbing.
