[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1509745, member: 32394"] Have you had a cpeptide test to see what your insulin production is looking like? Have you had a GAD test to see is you have the antibodies associated with type 1? If not, it seems a bit of a leap to decide that an increase in hba1c is because you are LADA rather than just a progression of type 2. It also seems a bit of a leap to go from metformin straight to insulin when usually the treatment for type 2s would be to try sulphonyureas first, although these aren't recommended for LADA. Going on insulin won't hurt while the tests are awaited. Your GP will be perfectly capable of starting you on insulin. Your GP is also perfectly capable of ordering cpeptide and gad tests. [/QUOTE]
