Message: <blockquote data-quote="Newbie 2 LADA" data-source="post: 2734414" data-attributes="member: 468217">This mirrors what happened to me almost exactly. Diagnosed Type 2 in Summer 2016..did well until Dec 2017 and got the news of LADA in Jan 2018 (after my doc telling me off for a high HBA1c despite the same efforts as yourself and me bursting into tears saying there is literally nothing else I can do). It's tough at the beginning and I'm sure, like me, it is a shock for you. I was devastated to go onto insulin and CGM (wasn't offered it for type 2) but it isn't as bad as I first thought.  I was still in the honeymoon period at first but think that is well over now and insulin is a way of life now.  But it hasn't stopped me....moved abroad and still have my long haul holidays.  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  Good luck!!!</blockquote>
