[QUOTE="Kosiejelly, post: 2620040, member: 575347"] Hi all. I was diagnosed LADA with a gad level of 18, which I understand is pretty low, although my doctors have said definitely LADA. I’m on basal and bolus insulin. My basal has fluctuated between 1 and 2 units daily depending on overnight levels. Recent nights I’ve been fairly low all night so I’m considering stopping basal until I see higher figures. I’ll carry on with bolus even though I’m rarely above 7 these past few weeks. I’m starting to have a creeping feeling that I’m not really diabetic despite what the doctors have said. Taking such low insulin already makes me feel a little fraudulent. I’m aware of the honeymoon period and that I might just be experiencing that. I know my thought process isn’t logical but I can’t help it. It wasn’t helped by a recent doctor’s letter that said ‘likely’ LADA. I’ve had more antibody tests to confirm but the results have gone missing, which really doesn’t help. I’d be interested to know if there’s anybody here who had similar experiences with their levels and how it’s gone for them. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
