[QUOTE="DCop, post: 2367054, member: 538326"] I was initially diagnosed T2 two years ago (Jan 2019). After complaining about excessive weight loss- I went from 10st 6lb to 8st 5lb in five months- I finally got tested and was GAD positive. GP referred me to endo at local hospital who confirmed LADA- my GP hadn’t heard of it and my diabetes nurse was adamant that there were only two types of diabetes. One of my medicines (dapagliflozin) was stopped immediately as they thought it was responsible for the weight loss (although that turns out to be due to hyperthyroidism which my GP also managed to miss). In honeymoon period and metformin is still working for me, although I suspect I might be on insulin soon as my blood sugars are slowly rising. [/QUOTE]
