[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2697220, member: 53162"] Hello there, I am surprised that considering your age you were not tested at the time to check the diagnosis, a C Peptide test would of determined how much insulin you were producing and would of given you an idea of what was really going on. What readings are you getting on your prick test and at what time of day are you checking, ideally checking first thing upon rising would give a fasting glucose reading which gives us a good indication of what is really going on. Personally I think doctors can be quite lazy and assumptive in making a diabetes diagnosis, but if the signs are leading towards a LADA diagnosis then the sooner you get this the better and get the right treatment too as living with high BG levels is life threatening.
