Ah, i see..
I'm hoping all the best for Nidge, but at least he will have had past experience with insulin use to fall back on..
Thank you for all your best wishes. I will continue with LCHF and exercise as long as I can while it works for me, whether it be months or years in the future. I am healthier now than I have been for decades.
Although I have been diagnosed as LADA, different medics / DSN's have stated both T1 and a complex form of T2. I have never been given a c-peptide test, as by the time they had my BGs down to a safe level, they said it was too late to do a comparative and have resisted doing one ever since!
I do still keep in-date insulin stocks in the fridge ready for whenever, though have stopped refreshing the pens in my Small-in-one every 4 & 6 weeks as that just ended up wasted and down the sink unused. I do carry the empty Novorapid and Levemir pens with me, and wear a wristband, as should I have an accident at any time, it would assist any medics with my treatment if I was unable to communicate.
I do have multiple other health issues, which my consultant states gives me a 'complex medical history'
. But at least it means I am unfazed by D, and it is just another tick box on the path of life. At least this is a condition where I can take some direct control over it. Whether I need insulin or not in the future does not bother me, I will start/stop injecting as required to live as healthy a life as possible.
Good luck to everyone in how they best manage their D condition, it is a condition which is as varied as the number of people troubled by it, and there is no one solution which suits everybody.
