[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 255094, member: 21149"] Hi. As Mep73 has said it is always possible you have LADA or another type 1 variant hence C-peptide and GAD tests would help. As you were overweight at diagnosis, though, it is more likely to be T2 with insulin resistance? I would try to keep the porridge portion size down and I hope the fruit doesn't include bananas. It would be interesting to know what the main meal typically includes but you obviously do keep an eye on the carbs. Sadly some of us despite all the tablets, good diet and exercise just can't keep the Hba1c down. GPs don't like doing C-Peptide and GAD tests. So for some, particularly those with insulin resistance, a low carb diet etc will stop the db progressing. For others that won't solve the problem. I suspect my insulin is low and may be yours is the same which means there is not much to be dome longterm other than taking insulin, but at least low carbs and portion size will delay that point. I guess you realise that your nurses comments about 'low-fat diet for diabetics' is the usual drivel. [/QUOTE]
