[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2217587, member: 372717"] Maybe you should eat a "normal" diet (ie not desperately low carb) fpr a few days before the clinic visit to push your sugar levels up and demonstrate that the gliclazide isn't coping with your insulin needs? Make sure that you remind the doctor that you are LADA not T2 and ask when you are going to start insulin? Also, have you been given equipment for testing for ketones? While you are not on insulin you are in danger of diabetic ketoacidosis if your insulin production suddenly falls. You should be prepared to go straight to hospital if your ketone levels go high.
