[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2304217, member: 401801"] At first glance I don't really see anything glaringly problematic in there. I think it may be time to get back to your doc and ask for those tests I mentioned (C-peptide and GAD), see what's up with those readings. Andy's right, there's no shame in needing medication, but.... You want to be absolutely sure you got the right diagnosis first. If they're treating you for Type 2 and you might be LADA, well... You need to know. Gliclazide wrings extra insulin out of the pancreas, but it won't do much of anything if your pancreas isn't putting out much to begin with. So you want to know how it's faring. I know it's hard to get tests done thanks to Covid-19, but... I really think you should pursue this. Not just because your weight troubles you, but a misdiagnosis can be very, very dangerous. Just keep an eye on your levels, and get in touch with the practice on Monday. Hugs, Jo [/QUOTE]
