[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 393810, member: 59930"] Update! So I went to see the diabetic consultant today again for my results and guess what...? NO CHANGE!! So it looks like I will need to remain in limbo land for the foreseeable future :'( On the other hand though MY HBA1c HAS CAME DOWN FROM 83 TO 45 WHICH MY CONSULTANT SAYS IS PRACTICALLY IN THE NON-DIABETIC RANGE WOOHOO!!! GAD result still positive, Islet antibody result still negative, insulin production still sitting at the bottom of the normal range. Had 'the chat' regarding insulin and guess what? He wouldn't prescribe it even if i wanted it as my levels are not high enough he doesn't think it will be beneficial and doesn't want risk of hypos as the dose would be 'negligible'. He is of the opinion that insulin doesn't preserve your beta cells anyway!! Interesting!!! Also discussed my morning levels always being between 7 and 8 mmol and again he said that he would be worried if it wasn't between those levels as those morning levels are what it means to be diabetic and any lower than that (when not using insulin) would be non-diabetic range! So....interesting appointment but not very informative regarding my disease..he says he is baffled by me, which is nice to know! Only thing I'm kinda sad about is that I still have to live with the constant fear of deterioration and insulin dependency striking me at any unknown time.... :'( Diagnosed with GD in 2010, Completely disappeared postpartum. Re-diagnosed December 2012 with type 1.5 diabetes, age 26, BMI 23 currently controlled by only Metformin, 500mg twice a day. [/QUOTE]
