Daughter - T1D Diagnosed March 2018. Currently Basel/Bolus using Lantus/Novorapid. Self funding Freestyle Libre.

Me - Diagnosed Type II in 2000 after self testing blood and high BG spot test. Initial Glucose tolerance test confirmed type II although HBa1C was "borderline" and no medication required. Adjusted diet and exercise, then "forgot" about diabetes after a 6 month of test. 5 years later after a loss of consciousness episode my BG's were 29.6. Private test show GAD antibodies and I am LADA (type 1.5) and back to "thinking" like a diabetic and trying to understand LADA (this as of Jan 2015)
