[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 852887, member: 91575"] Hi Karl I remember reading your previous posts and glad you have come back with an update. I too am LADA, diagnosed nearly 18 months ago with a GAD of over 2,000. Like yourself, so far, no insulin. I have been following Dr Bernstein solution, this is working well and my BG levels are in his 'normal' range (4.6 fasting, 5.6 two hours after eating). I am lucky, I enjoy the low carb high fat diet. I eat mainly fatty meats (which I enjoy) and salads (which I also like). I could not manage your diet. I started to read 'The PH Miracle' by Robert Young. Where he believes the body needs to be alkaline, not acid. Interesting read, but then he said you need to be vegetarian..... So I lost interest one third through, because I know I could not achieve it. Would your lifestyle not be better if you ate meat?. Why the veg diet?.... It is clearly working, and hats off to you for making it work. But I know I could not. You said you liked meat before, have you tried Dr Bernstein diet. In my opinion a much more easily managed and sustainable diet, and one that has sustained my weight (12.5 stone, BMI of 22. I went down to under 12stone prior to Dr Bernstein diet). It's good to hear you are getting good support from your doctor. I have not seen mine since diagnosed 18 months ago. I see the specialist nurse every 3 months, and they have become very supportive, but simply say carry on with what you are doing because it's clearly working. I have been given insulin, over a year ago now, but not so far needed it. Came close just after Christmas when I had a viral infection, which raised my BG levels to 7.0 for a day, then slowly went down, but it increased my hba1c from 5.1 to 5.5. If you think your diet is sustainable for life, stick with it. But it sounds like you are struggling with it. If so, try something that you see is sustainable that may / can also keep your BG levels at the normal levels without insulin. But be prepared / ready for insulin when needed. My primary objective is to keep my BG at 'normal' levels. If I need to take insulin to do that, then I will. i think that's what you need to consider. That's what Dr Bernstein also recommends.
