[QUOTE="nikki_kent, post: 1168844, member: 303161"] I am new to this forum so thank you for letting me join. I was diagnosed with LADA diabetes a couple of years ago when I had a positive result for GAD antibodies. GP surgery is brilliant and I have all the diabetic checks that are available. I have an HbA1C done every 6 months and the results are always excellent so I am not on any medication for my diabetes at all. However I have developed diabetic retinopathy (one bleed point in one eye) and have excrutiatingly painful neuropathy for which I have just started Gabapentin (current dose 600mgs three times a day). GP puts this down to LADA diabetes being rather a nasty type of diabetes that can give complications even though BG levels are normal. Is there anyone else in this situation? I also have pernicious anaemia and have B12 injections every two weeks to keep me upright and functioning. Best wishes to all - Nikki [/QUOTE]
