Catherine - thank you. That was the one thing I did read after someone pointed it out on another thread. What I can't get my head around is: if we skinny ones *were* to be LADA and were therefore attacking our own insulin production, then surely we wouldn't be making enough to manage the low carbs we do eat. It's not as though I'm lowering and lowering my carb intake by the month to keep things stable. I manage fine with what I do take in. Maybe that's where the 2-6 years comes in? It would gradually get worse if it were LADA, whereas right now (in year one since dx) it acts exactly like type 2. I guess time will tell.
Jenrose - yes, I too eat nuts a lot (a LOT) and have started adding extra ham in for snacks too because the nuts aren't adding weight on.
Today I was very bothered with the weight loss because I decided to sing (yeah, don't ask! but it's proper singing, with keyboard etc) and my chest was tight and my breathing difficult and I went light-headed, so I stopped. Well I haven't sung properly since dx - just usual round-the-house stuff - but this dismayed me as I could feel my chest hurting when trying to control breathing as one does when singing to accompaniment. It's bad enough my ribs sticking out without feeling like I'm going to expire. More food required, obviously. So I've stuck a bird in the oven...
