[QUOTE="diabeticmum, post: 117720, member: 14165"] I was just reading this discussion and found it really interesting. I was diagnosed as a type 2 when I was 29. I wasn't overweight, and did not have high cholestrol or blood pressure. The hospital I went too gave me a diet sheet, and told me i had type 2. Even though after eating 2 plain weetabix my sugar readings were 28.1. They basically dismissed me, I got a second opinion from my own gp who disagreed. He said I didn't fit a type 2 catergory. He put me on tablets and kept a close eye on me for six months. After this my readings were still not coming down enough, I went on to insulin, and never looked back. I started off on small twice daily amounts, I am now having 4 injections, and my dosage has gone right up. I never felt I was a type 1 even though I didn't immediately go on to insulin. It is very interesting reading about LADA.!!! I have never heard of it before, wonder how many doctors consider this when making a diagnosis? [/QUOTE]
