[QUOTE="Glink, post: 1972323, member: 254742"] Ha, thanks. I've moved to the USA for a job and have been told that this kind of thing (false diagnosis for insurance coverage) is common here. I'm not really comfortable with it, but don't plan to live here forever so hopefully I can lose it when I return somewhere with an actual health care system! (I got metformin b/c sugars kept rising despite a very LC diet and lots of exercise; not sure how my GP dealt with diagnostic codes to get it covered, b/c I don't have labs on record that are technically T2 qualifying.) I guess I'm just afraid to celebrate too soon. But it *is* great news that things are working well (especially as I had some hyperglycaemia symptoms flare up at the end of the summer, hence the increased metformin). I feel very lucky that my case has responded so well to diet and medication. It's just weird to be in uncharted territory, and now that I'm probably not-really-LADA, I'm not really sure what I am. However, you're right. I should count my blessings and try not to worry so much. [/QUOTE]
