[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1695082, member: 21149"] Hi. Can you let us know your BMI and are you low-carbing? I would ask to be changed from twice-a-day mixed insulin to MDI (Basel/Bolus) which gives much better control and will avoid many/any hypos. Asking for the tests for T1 might help but won't change the right treatment. GAD tests are very unreliable some years after diagnosis but a c-peptide would show your insulin production level but again wouldn't affect the right treatment. I'm listed as T2 (stupid NHS GP) but know I'm a LADA but on Basal/Bolus with good control. I do control the carbs. My c-peptide showed low'ish insulin production and GAD negative. I'm lucky as my surgery has good diabetic nurse support. [/QUOTE]
