Could I be Type 1 or LADA?

Hello all

I am officially diagnosed type 2. My father, sister and cousin all have type 2, and it was suspected that I had Gestational Diabetes when I was pregnant 16 years ago - it ended in miscarriage before I found out.

Then off and on, it was found that I had impaired fasting glycaemia.

Then I was diagnosed with type 2 at the age of 48.

I am 5 ' 2".

I weigh 8st 3 lbs.

I have an active lifestyle, teaching Yoga and looking after a small holding.

In spite of working very hard at control and using a fairly low carb diet and sticking to the rules almost to the point of obsession, I find that i am losing control of my Blood Sugar quite badly - and am never out of the 7s now. I know that this is small fry - but I just can't seem to make an impact on my sugars the way I was doing last year - yet nothing has changed in my approach and I don't seem to meet the general criteria for type 2.

Can anyone give me some advice please?

Should I see the doctor?

Thanks
