I was first diagnosed as Type 2 about 7 years ago. It soon became apparent that I did not fit the Type 2 profile and after testing it was decided I was LADA. I have survived the "honeymoon period" with regular Metformin (but without insulin) and my HBa1C is undercontrol. Last week I went for...

Please excuse me - I am not normally this thick. There appears to be nothing in the app that allows me to scan. Or is this OK & it scans automatically when I present the back of the phone to the sensor. If I have a problem it seems that I may not have set up the app correctly. But I have done...

I start with a confession. I am not Type 1 but LADA, and my numbers are rising, so I may be Type 1 before too long.. I read on the Forum that this group were the best to answer my Freestyle Libre 2 query. I have taken up an offer from Freestyle for a free sensor for two reasons. First to...

Are you correct? I was diagnosed LADA two years ago & am still on Metformin. The medics say I am in the "honeymoon" period. Sounds better than it is. The consultant said he would not consider insulim until my blood sugar starting hitting 8.5, and currently it is just over 6. Like others I...

Many thanks to all who replied. I guess I saw diabetes as a fight I could win, when the reality is (with LADA) that is not going to happen. I now want to lose later rather than sooner.

As someone who has been diagnosed as LADA it is important that I am able to accurately monitor my blood sugar in order to ascertain when my “honeymoon” period is coming to an end. In other words to understand when my pancreas is beginning to stop producing insulin and I become a T1. What makes...

Hi, I am just a few months ahead of you. I was diagnosed as T2 just over a year ago & lost weight very quickly. Problem with that is I was already slim (retired marathon runner) & I became skinny. My HBa1C was 85 at diagnosis & with the help of Metformin and a strong will got it down to 40. I...

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know I am not alone with my symptoms. I can now begin to have a more informed conversation when I have my hospital appointment. Cheers

Not your typical build for a type 2 (1.85m & 76kg) I was diagnosed in August 2017. My HBa1C was 85. I followed a fairly strict reduced carb diet (ave 160g), took my Metformin each day & averaged around 5.7 blood glucose. After three months my HBa1C was 41& everybody said I was a good boy...
