So here's the background info on my situation.
https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/th...etes-team-wont-take-me-off-of-insulin.175527/
So 2 weeks ago the results from the c-peptide test came back as low. But when i took the test months ago I was on a tight insulin regime. It's been 2 months now I've stopped injecting insulin and my low carb diet has loss me quite a lot of weight. I enjoy my low carb lifestyle and would have a treat once in a while but never spike when I do.
Since getting my results and being told I have LADA has been stressful and hard to come to terms with. My GAD test showed no anti-bodies and I do not have any symptoms of T1 or T1.5. I've just requested a ICA test so I can be certain it is LADA but I think my diabetes doctor always suspected T1 and I had to force them to do a c-peptide test so I can have an idea of what is going on, after advice from the group.
My DN is already talking about libres and CGMs etc. Scary for me, I hated injecting insulin 4 times a day. But the diabetes team have sent me 2 letters stating I must go back on insulin asap. But my levels are not spiking or not in range, they always seem to be consistent even if I have carbs.
I've been told i'm in my honeymoon period and it won't last by my DN and LADA doesn't define me and I can have a full life expectancy etc...
But deep down I think I'm type 2 as I fit that profile and everything that works for a t2 is working for me. I'm really gutted I was working so hard to reach remission, feels like it was all for nothing.
