Hi, does the test for diabetes routinely test for LADA?
When I went to the doctor & said I thought I was diabetic he took my symptoms & said if I am it’ll be type 2 then I did the blood tests.
I was very slightly overweight (I lost a bit on lchf so now I’m thin) & it’s a lot in my family.
I’m wondering if LADA was ruled out. I’d prefer to be type 2 but I’d also like to know what I’m up against if it turns out to be more progressive.
I will ask at my next hba1c but I know I’ll be fobbed off & told it can’t be because of my age etc (they’re not very knowledgeable here & I watched my father get worse for years & die)
So is it standard to test for LADA?
Thanks
