Hello I was diagnosed with LADA two days ago. My sons both have t1D.
While the NHS thought it was T2, the surgery discouraged testing, (told me autoimmune diabetes wasn't possible at my age etc. so I had to fight to get tested) and now they don't know what to do with me, I am waiting for my prescription, and I don't even know what I'm getting. I have no access to the DSN or Consultant.
Honestly of course I'm grateful for the NHS but it all seems a bit incompetent
Meanwhile I am not allowed to post or ask questions in a t1D forum (on FB) because I'm not on bolus! But why I am not on bolus with LADA? I can already see how what I eat massively affects my blood sugar.
My last hba1c was 81 and rising. My fasting bg is 12 mmol/L. Not horrendous but still in need of treatment, and nobody seems bothered
