[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2063426, member: 345386"] Hertfordshiremum - I'm not T1, or LADA, butLevemir is a long acting insulin, designed to keep your underlying bloods under control, as opposed to the short acting insulin that is usually matched to the food you are eating. If you look up insulin at all, it is a hormone produced in the pancreas, which regulates the amount of glucose in the blood, and also helps the blood glucose enter the cells for use now or later. On that basis, it can lead to weight gain, but that usually happens in those fr whom the dosing is out of whack, or who are significantly insulin resistent. Hypothyroidism, whether Hashis or any other variant is an unpleasant condition which takes a bit of managing and some time to get it right. Infuriatingly, diabetes, and maybe even particularly insulin dependent diabetes is the same. It takes time, and sometimes many changes to get thing right. Whilst your DSN may not personally know many LADAs, she should have access to expertise with more relevant knowledge than she has. It is important your diabetes is managed, so whatever you do don't ignore it. [/QUOTE]
