[QUOTE="iwilltouchyourcat, post: 2508121, member: 553162"] Hi all Was waiting for c pep gad antibody and thyroid bloods and I called the diabetes team today Nurse said I am producing ‘loads of insulin’ (1199) so she ‘doubts I’m type 1’ but the GAD antibody test hasn’t come back yet. My thyroid was low but last test showed it’s normal. Despite low carb and intermittent fasting my bm starts around 5-7 then shoots up to 12/13/14, returning to 5-7 mostly at evenings but I’m not eating one meal a day plus a low carb purition shake. I’m on metformin and gliclazide max doses and they want to add linagliptin now. I guess my question is can you still produce ‘loads’ of insulin and have antibodies? Or should I rule out type 1/Lada now? Why is my blood sugar spiking like that despite me not eating all day, eating very little in the evening and low carb? Shouldn’t I have seen an improvement in two months at least of this? I am scared to exercise as it spiked me to 16 last time. I’m losing weight but very slowly Am I destined to be on meds and just be told to lose more weight and never see an improvement? Oh am so confused and disheartened right now. Thanks for reading [/QUOTE]
