[QUOTE="icecoffee, post: 357793, member: 46309"] My experience is similar to you. I had high sugar level when I was pregnant but didn’t get any treatment (I wasn’t in UK at that time). A year later after I had my son, I was very ill and the ketostik shocked the doctors too. The insulin was put on immediately without any tests. I was type one then. As I hated injections, I determined to get rid of needles so the insulin amount was reduced less and less by reducing the food I ate. Eventually I stopped it and started to use Gliclizide. My case was thought odd as I was young and skinny, yet by definition I am type two. This got confirmed by a GAD test 15 years later I got the disease. My advice from my experience is to concentrate on the BS control by lowering the carb intake hence to use a minimum medication to slow down its progress no matter whatever you are, type one, two or LADA . If I had the knowledge that I have now I guess I could just not have needed any medicine or on Metformin only at the early stage and for many years. I am not doing too badly though - having been with diabetes for more than 20 years I still keep insulin away. Do not worry too much about your son. There is a risk but not necessary the case. To play safe, watch his diet, let him have more protein, less carbs and sugary stuff such as, sweets. [/QUOTE]
