Lada/gad Antibodies

I would think the first step would be to make an appointment with your GP and discuss next steps. He or she will be able to refer you to the hospital if needed. It would be helpful for you to know what your blood glucose levels are day to day, since very high levels may need urgent treatment. If nothing else, if your BGs are over 12 or 13 you probably feel very tired and will feel better when they come down.

There is a sub forum especially for LADAs. You may find a helpful soul there.

I recently had the same diagnosis after being labelled a Type 2 for almost 20 years. Depending on how much insulin your pancreas is still producing will determine the best treatment options. My doctor did a C-Peptide test and it was discovered I’m still making some insulin, but just not enough to cover my very low carb diet of less than 20 g a day, so I’ve been put on bolus long-acting insulin (Lantus) to see if that’s enough to keep my blood glucose in the normal range. I’m remaining on a low carb diet (following the recommendation from Dr. Richard Bernstein’s book “Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution.”) and it’s going to be trial and error for a while until I get the proper dosage correct. Later, as my pancreas function decreases or ceases altogether, I will eventually become an insulin-dependent T1 and require both long-acting and fasting acting insulin to cover meals. I’m not finding much on the internet about LADA, other than explaining what it is. It would be helpful if I could learn more from other LADA diabetics and how they manage it, but for now, my doctor and Dr. Bernstein’s book are my guides.
