[QUOTE="LionChild, post: 2068409, member: 461457"] I have read information on this site regarding life expectancy of Type 1 Diabetes females, but not about life expectancy of those with LADA. I am 67, and have recently been diagnosed with Diabetes 1, having previously, for the last year, been diagnosed as first, pre-diabetic, then Diabetes 2. I am presently in what is known as the 'honeymoon period' apparently in which my blood glucose levels are not too awry, and only on 8 units in the morning, and 6 units in the evening, having come right down from what I was put on in hospital (30 units twice a day) to where I was admitted in emergency with keto-acidosis, and an Hb1Ac of 119). Two questions, if anyone knows the answers: [B]Does anyone know what the life expectancy of someone is who was diagnosed with LADA at 67 [/B]- as I am assuming it is different from if I had had diabetes type 1 from birth? [B]And secondly how 'average' is this need of mine for 8 units in the morning, and 6 in the evening. [/B] The consultant did not think it was imsportant enough to do a C-Peptide test (at least he did, but they didn't put it 'on ice' and therefore the test could not be valid, and so was, and has, subsequently it seems, been abandoned).
