[QUOTE="miahara, post: 1949664, member: 256148"] I know my situation is relatively rare in the diabetic community as most folks are wanting to avoid calorie intake and shed weight. I on the other hand need to gain weight as I've lost a lot. Weight loss started before I was diagnosed about three years ago, it rose briefly when I started meds (gliclazide) but since then has shown a slow decline. It's now more or less bottomed at at 50 kg (just under 8 stone). My HbA1c has been rising for the past 8 months, though about 18 months ago I was borderline 'remission'. Last Hba1c was 71 and up from 65. My current FBG tests are in double figures. My semi-educated gut feeling is that I may be LADA or T1, but after pushing my GP into ordering GAD and C-Peptide tests, she's told me results are 'normal'. However I'm not convinced GP has much clue about diabetes and if the DSN she consulted is the one who delivered the seminar I attended when first diagnosed the opinion of that DSN is very questionable. I have to admit that my LCHF diet over the past three months has been far too carby, largely as a result of thinking 'why the hell bother' and seeking far too many sweet treats to assuage depression and in the hope of putting on a few kilos. My apologies for this long post, but I hope someone can come up with suggestions, as I'm rather at a loss as to what to do. Dave [/QUOTE]
