Thank you everyone for your words of wisdom. All of you have given me a lot to work with. As we all know, this is a disease that is much as its the old pancreas failing, its a mental rollercoaster. I think now its clear I pre bolused too long and should make it 15 mins prior to meal and see...

I cant thank you enough for your thoughtful, analytical and detailed response. I think you have found where I went wrong and something I simply didnt consider in that the inulin worked before my food and makes sense as I waited an hour after insluin to consume my meal. I probably overdid this...

Yes thats my next step but generally I seem to get better input from forum members than my medical team! If I may ask, what do you take to treat hypos and whats your general process in terms of how long before you recheck etc.

Hi and thanks for your response @EllieM. I actually didnt want them initially to put me on any insulin as I was managing with a very low carb diet and I simply didnt want to have the fear of hypos. That's the only good thing about managing without Insulin but as mentioned not being able to have...

Hi Everyone, New to join the forum but I have learnt alot from this group for about 8 years even though I am based in Melbourne, mainly a gentleman called Ian who I followed very closely. Long story short I was diagnosed as LADA when I was 29, 8 years ago through the antibody test and since...
