In the same boat (misdiagnosed as T2 in 2014, rediagnosed as LADA last Wednesday). My c-peptide scores are pretty high but it was the antibodies that done it... It is a big shock right enough - I've to return to the clinic in a month's time to potentially start insulin, but can only say that it...

Funnily enough... Was diagnosed as T2 early 2014 just after my son was born-i'd put weight loss down to me getting healthy before my son was born but had balanitis - blood test confirmed a high HbA1c (9.2% in old terms). Have worked tirelessly with diet and exercise (reduced to 49mmol in new...

It is a blow, yes-but weirdly enough one that I was convinced of well before today. As far as I'm concerned it makes no change to the fact that I have a form of the condition-it just means I can stop beating myself up about trying to reverse the condition and failing, or questioning why things...

So. After 5 years and many false hopes of movement in dealing with what everyone thought was a typical T2, and being dejected with how things are going despite loads of hard work..I'm now officially not T2 but LADA. Imagine my surprise - especially when I'd had c-peptide results that were...

Started testing today after getting a meter prescribed Fasting this morning-13.8. Just before lunch, 15.1. Hoping this was all stress as before dinner-10.8, 2 hours after 9.9. It's a start...

Ha! Cheers-was a sticker on a wall I saw when in Berlin a few years ago! I agree with you re how every case is different yet linked, I just wish the goalposts would stop moving for a change. No quick fix, just need to keep tinkering every so often to try and get by. Just needed a wee bit of...

Not yet-however will be meeting the doc next month. Hoping to avoid that one altogether if I can...!

Cheers for the replies, all. I think I've just needed to get *something* out there in the open to people that know what I'm going through and who have the experience to get over it and can help others. I'll need to get my head down again and do things the right way, but I need to stop fighting...

Cheers-just a bit of a panic merchant! Did a 65 mile ride on Good Friday over 5 hours and know that I still need to eat carbs when out but limited compared to others riding with me. It's one of these things where I start looking inward and became a bit anxious when I really shouldn't. Did for a...

Mainly as the goalposts would have moved and in my head I'd be closer to ending up like my gran was. Which is where I fear I'll end up anyway. Which is balls (obviously) and I shouldn't think like that, but I cannot get it out of my head. It's not me saying that it could be worse regardless-it's...

I have approached this with my doctor in the past and she's suggested that it won't be that. But yes-have the motivation, just need to count carbs far more closely. The monitor will help I think-but if things don't improve in 3-6 months I will go down the GAD/C-Peptide test route. Which would...

Yep, read up quite extensively on the forum just after I was diagnosed and had intended to post before now but thought I had a grip on things...! By me saying that I was 'sort of low carb', I basically re-evaluated my diet completely. I cut out bread, rice, pasta, potatoes etc alongside getting...

Hello...! Long time lurker, but now looking for guidance and support. Basically I was diagnosed just over 3 years ago as Type 2, aged 37 and just after the birth of our first child. I put the weight loss down to me stopping drinking, but had suspicions of something not being right. 3 years...
