Hi
New to this forum. I was diagnosed as LADA 3 years ago, I am on insulin now and have found my weight has increased significantly. Can anyone recommend a good diet to follow for diabetic LADA or has anyone had experience of good results from any diets which help

Hi. You probably need to reduce your carb intake BUT whilst doing that you will probably need to reduce your Bolus insulin (and possibly the Basal a bit). Make sure you test regularly to avoid going hypo. I find my weight goes up if I increase my daily carbs beyond about 150gm. We're all different but many T1/LADAs do need to control the carbs in the same way a T2 does.
