[QUOTE="michelle88, post: 488256, member: 96933"] Hi Totto I know, diabetes is so very complicated! Well my endo says I suffer from insulin resistance which is why he put me on Metformin, but I don't know yet how Met will affect my levels because I'm still nursing. I just find it strange how he refuses to put me in any category, whether T1, T2, MODY or LADA. He prefers calling me "insulin resistant". Doesn't that equal T2? And given my family background (several T2s, no known T1 or anything else), doesn't that point to T2 as well? He rules out MODY as it's very rare and people who do have it get it when they're around 25. I was 33 when diagnosed. My last HbA1c was 6.0 (42 mmol/mol in new money) back in November 2013 but I want to get it down in the 5's again. [/QUOTE]
