Hello
Can anyone help with the latest news from my consultant, it’s left me confused and feeling a bit low! I was referred to consultant after 1.5 years of various meds but increasing blood sugars levels and hba1c going up and up. Gestational, prediabeic despite all my efforts 2 years ago was told Type 2.
Now taking repaglinide lowest dose 0.5 before each meal. Dropping below 4 so been advised by consultant to drop morning dose. Seem to be sensitive to it. Makes me squeeze out insulin when eat.
He’s said results are back (c peptide and antibodies) and that I make enough insulin, but I’m positive antibodies that type 1 would have.
He now says he doesn’t think would help doing MODY test. Which was original plan. He’s saying I may need insulin over time...so I’m confused! Is this LADA? If positive antibodies? And why wouldn’t he say LADA? Do you need low insulin levels for that to be diagnosed?
Sorry for all the questions I’m feeling really confused now, I just want to be told what type I am and go forward. I see consultant in 7 months time. But see diabetes nurse in January. Maybe the letter he sends to my gp will explain more.
