[QUOTE="smidge, post: 362968, member: 29301"] Hi cejsmith! Well, there are a lot of us who were initially misdiagnosed as Type 2 and then rediagnosed as LADA a while later. There are a couple of tests you can have done to help sort out if you are LADA or Type 2: GAD antibody test looks for the presence of antibodies that attack your pancreatic beta cells - these are often present in Type 1 but not in Type 2; c-peptide test measures how much insulin you are producing. However, judging by what happened to you, I suspect that your diabetes team will think it unnecessary to do these tests as the treatment would be the same either way - basal and bolus insulin. Personally, I'd still want to know. Take care Smidge [/QUOTE]
