[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1932995, member: 21149"] Hi. A lot depends on whether you are a bit overweight and likely to be T2 or slim and possibly a LADA or somewhere in the middle. I was at that HBA1C level at diagnosis but slim and losing weight. I have turned out to be a LADA with long honeymoon period and now on insulin after years of the all the tablets. The tablets held my HBA1C down until the point at which insulin was vital. Others with a high HBA1C find that the low-carb diet and perhaps Metformin can avoid moving to insulin as their insulin resistance reduces. At present just keep going and testing and if your BS becomes difficult to control and you are not overweight then ask for the tests for LADA [/QUOTE]
