Hi there,
I was first diagnosed as T1 10 months ago with a HbAc1 14. Female, 35 y/o, fit. I was put on Lantus and Humalog from day one ( Lantus 12, Humalog 4-4-4), slowing down the dosses to Lantus 6 Humalog 1-2-2/ 0-0-1/2 (if exercise for 30 minutes in the morning). My present HbAc1 is 6.3. After these change, and into 6 months of diagnoses, my nurse decided to make some tests as my honeymoon period seems too long too sweet.
Three days ago I have been told I am negative for antibodies ( which runs me out of Type1), but my C-peptides are pretty low ( 340 ) which runs me out of type2.
I have been told I am LADA. ( even after researching I think I don't tick all the bozes...)
From monday I will keep my Lantus- 6, will be off Humalog and starting on gliclazide ( 1 pill a day to start with)
Does this all sound right to you? Do you have any information that could help me?
Thank you so much. I am pretty new to all this, making gigantic efforts to change my lifestyle and remaining positive about this all.
Some info about LADA, or a tyoe of 1.5 diabetes.
