[QUOTE="smidge, post: 356839, member: 29301"] Hi Elaine! Sorry about your diagnosis - I know just how you feel with the uncertainty and fear - and the thought that you're alone. The good news is that LADA is more common than you think and that most of us with it cope very well :D Many of us go through a misdiagnosis as type 2 before we finally get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. I've had LADA for more than 3 years - diagnosed at 42. it has been a hell of a journey, but I promise you you will adapt and you will cope. I am now on 5 injections a day (2 basal and 3 bolus). You will need insulin in the end, but that's not so bad once you get used to it - in fact, it was a real relief to me and the best thing I've ever done as I was really struggling until I went onto insulin. PM me here or on the other forum if you want to talk - I use both forums, and try to look in on each a couple of times a week. Take care Smidge [/QUOTE]
