[QUOTE="Speedbird, post: 2477999, member: 306666"] Hi [USER=429870]@Alexandra100[/USER] my bg started rise from 2017. It was a steady rise and only slight but I just kept on doing low carb/keto and at times, carnivore. I was, what some classify, as a skinny type 2 bit my visceral fat was very low. I just accepted the fact and presumed that I may just be a TOFI. But felt I was in decline and was having fewer “good” days and started getting used to bad days being normal. My last Hba1c was up again at 7.8 ( not tragically bad ) and it was just getting higher with each review. In 2019 I had a Medicheck blood test and it showed low producing insulin but no insulin intolerance. It may be that I wasn’t producing enough of the insulin to be intolerant but I don’t know. That was the time I first thought to tell my GP about the result but he dismissed it. In the end it was like fighting a battle I couldn’t win. Even just looking at a piece of cheese would raise my blood sugars but I couldn’t afford to lose any more weight so I decided to make a private appointment with a specialist in person and he answered all my questions and did the appropriate tests. I am so glad I did and it was worth every penny. He just took one look at me and suggested I may be LADA. Armed with all the information he gave me and the test results, my c-peptide test shows an even lower number than the 2019 result so definitely in decline, I took it back to my gp and I am now on a low dose of long lasting Insulin. I hope this helps and just ask if you want anymore info. This forum was such a help too but I felt a failure when I kept reading all those wonderful results others where getting on their way of eating, something I could not achieve.
