Son has been here today, he looks great...said he feels great too
He is still diet and excercise only, still got great bs readings all in (non diabetic) normal range
He said he is looking forward to seeing his specialist, to see what his A1C, HbA1c tests are like .....just waiting for the appointment to come through the post
He seems the best he has been in maybe a year
It's now coming up 6months since diagnosed type 1

I think it's not a matter of finding out, like finding out whether you have measles or chickenpox. It's more deciding which category to put you in. I may be wrong, but I don't think it would make any difference to treatment. With LADA there is the hope of a longer honeymoon period and slower onset.
