[QUOTE="Gemnuts, post: 1802485, member: 165474"] Hi, I’m 35 and was originally diagnosed as Type 2 at 26. Before that, I was pushing 16 stone but had lost 3 stone, but fit the criteria in terms of weight and being as risk of it. Since then, I’ve dropped to a 8-10, generally weighed around 10.5 stone but my control has got steadily worse. I was tested for Type 1 during my pregnancy with my daughter, as I don’t fit the typical Type 2 profile either. The tests came back negative and after I gave birth but initially just put back into Metformin. That didn’t last long at all and slowly had various medication introduced and before trying for our 2nd child (currently 30 weeks along) was on Metformin, Gliclazide, Alogliptin and Dapaglifozin - by the time I went for preconception advice, none of that was really working and my HBA1C has been creeping up. It’s worth saying now that I don’t have the perfect diet, I indulge here and there, but I certainly behave most of the time, so no real explanation for the sudden increase. I was sent for some genetic testing for MODI and they came back negative too. I’ve since been seen by the Consultant through the clinics I have to attend for my 2nd pregnancy and he has switched me to LADA. He said although the MODI test were seen as negative, I had a very small trace of antibodies in 1 of them. I’m on insulin for my pregnancy but will now be staying on it for the foreseeable future!
