[QUOTE="Diabetic Vegan, post: 2285561, member: 527403"] [FONT=Verdana]Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with LADA in November in last year. I know a couple of T2 diabetics and a couple of T1 diabteics (including my dad) but I've never met or had the chance to talk to any fellow LADAs / 1.5s! I guess I'm just interested to know what everyone's stories are, how and when they were diagnosed etc and what treatment they're on! I'll start. I was originally misdiagnosed as T2 in April last year. One nurse I saw said I could be this inbetween type (LADA) but that I'd need a test for it and she'll refer me. The referral didn't get accepted and all the doctors kept saying I was T2 and I started on metformin. It was pretty frustrating, I just felt like no one was listening and I had to really fight to see a specialist. Anyway, eventually my sugars kept getting higher and it was obvious the metformin wasn't helping and so I got approved to get the antibodies test and was diagnosed with LADA in November last year. Since then I've been on insulin. I'm only on long acting, I take 12 units of Lantus in the morning. My hba1c was at 45 when I was last tested about a month ago which I'm quite happy with. I don't like injecting but sometimes I really wish I was on short acting too so I could eat without my sugars spiking! Please share your experiences too! :)[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
