[QUOTE="Pmerrill, post: 1365308, member: 109879"] Hi there, I was diagnosed as 1.5 LADA in April 2014 and am still in the honeymoon period. I was very low carbing with lots of exercise for probably a good 18 months and managed to control my BG very well without meds. I've recently started to introduce carbs back into my diet (from sept 16), hospital wanted me to try and see what effect it has. I'm now monitoring BG closely keeping food diaries, exercise lots and still steer clear of bad carbs. I'm back to the hospital in march for a review and can guarantee my A1C is going to be a lot higher than previous. I guess they might recommend insulin at that point but we'll see. For now I remain insulin free so to speak. TBH I'm glad to be having some carbs as well, gives me more energy at the gym although I have put on a few pounds as a result! Good luck to you!
