[QUOTE="paulchew1988, post: 1809947, member: 473165"] Hi, I was diagnosed with type 1 LADA about 2 months ago. My symptoms were quite prominent, I lost 4 and a half stone in 9 months. While the weight loss was a bonus the thirst and increased trips to the bathroom weren't . In terms of being tested for me I had a hba1c done and with in a week they had me in the GP office again with a result of 131. They said to me that i was definitely diabetic. But due to my symptoms gradually coming on over 12-9 months that I was more likely a type 2. They took more bloods to check for antibodies which they said will be to determine my type. In my case it was type 1. I can't say it's not been a rollercoaster of emotions but in a short time I've got a good understanding of what I need and what I'm doing. That was my journey anyway. I don't know how different areas go about testing. Most will have different experiences to me. [/QUOTE]
