Or am I wasting my time and money trying to manage post meal blood sugar with it?My diabetes team seems pretty convinced I've got LADA not type 2, as first assumed. I was diagnosed 11 months ago when my doctors were monitoring blood work because i had something called DRESS syndrome (an allergy that can trigger organ damage) and they were watching for stuff like this to happen. I also have had Hashimoto's for 10 years. I am (and have always been) normal weight and have normal blood pressure and normal triglycerides. I'm also very physically active and always have been. Anyway i'm taking Byetta now, because metformin wasn't helping at all. First we added Lantus and now we have switched the metformin for Byetta. But nothing is working for mealtimes at all. I'm hovering around the 10 mmol/l mark long after the two hours mark.  On 9 units of lantus, my fasting BS is a lovely 5-6 mmol/l all day.</blockquote>
