[QUOTE="Mrs HJG, post: 2518450, member: 552087"] Oh [USER=553162]@iwilltouchyourcat[/USER] I can totally sympathise/empathise/realise what you are going through. I am not yet on insulin at 6 months in - I was on Humulin M3 for 3 weeks at first, ending up on only 3 units at dinnertime (from 8) and was going hypo, so that was stopped as I was obviously still producing ample of my own insulin, and I wasn't really eating low-carb at that point, (it was Christmas and I didn't have a clue what I was doing!), so insulin too early may not help at all. The Endo I saw privately, (or I'd still be waiting until 2023 for someone to look at my c-peptide and GAD results!), said insulin would be best re-started once I am regularly waking on 6+ and 8+ 2hrs after my main meal, (knowing I was restricting carbs to c.25g max per meal); I don't know if these levels are universally used for LADA, but to me they seems a good place to start. Sometimes (for about 5 seconds) I wish I could just eat whatever I fancied and inject to cover it, but then I think of all the practicalities like not being able to just jump in the car to collect the kids or going hypo and I am happy to drag out the diet, exercise and Metformin for as long as I can. We are all different in how our bodies and brains work and I hope you find your balance and get where you want to be soon x [/QUOTE]
