It takes me 10 minutes to inject, it's like a horror role play for me, need to get over the needles, then I take my time pushing it in, takes a good while and if I feel pain I take it out and start in a different area and start all over again.My diabetes nurse got back in contact after the doctors call, because i woke up thinking about LADA and i messaged her on whatsapp about it. She's responded that they think but not 100% sure i'm type 2 but they have a reason to suspect T2. That they're starting the metformin to see how my body reacts to 1/2 the dosage of insulin and they will eventually whine me off of insulin based on my results from the next A1c and BG from today onwards.Sort of contradicts what the doctor said, I think I will take this into my own hands and work really hard to lose the weight at leat 15 - 20 kilos and see if my sensitivity disappears.On another note: I had the dietician on the phone today, she wasn't impressed with my new plant based (ex chicken and fish) diet.  She says i'm being too aggressive cutting things out and I need focus on my calcium and iron intake since i cut red meat, oils and spreads, fruits high in sugar and dairy out. So guess I need to open my pallet a bit more. I am really enjoying my low carb diet but she says I need to eat carbs at least until they know my type because carbs work differently in T1s as it does in T2s. I don't miss carbs but everything is so conflicting because I'm stuck in limbo not knowing what i'm working with. My diet reflects a T2, but because of that 50/50 chance of T1 she's said I need to have more than 150g.</blockquote>
