    Lantus vs tresiba

    Thanks for the information here. Someone wanted to try me on Tresiba, but I thought it was for type 2 only and refused to do so. I also wanted my endo to confirm it. I am a LADA and also insulin dependent. I think I will ask my endo for it as I hear it is only once a week. Thanks again.

    On diagnosis, what medication were you given?

    I was diagnosed as a 2 and then as a 1. Because I am not on insulin, but was told autoimmune disease, I gather that I am LADA. What test does UK give for Lada? Some say to be on insulin, but I am not. What do the doctors say in the UK? Also, Bernstein does not address LADA in his old book I read.
