[QUOTE="sarahleecakey, post: 1264487, member: 71978"] Hi all, I too was misdiagnosed. For 9 years I endured them insisting I was a type 2 who wasnt strict enough with herself and they kept adding more medication. After moving areas, in 2015 my new GP practice' Diabetic Nurse referred me to the hospital and the consultant I saw was adamant I was LADA (Im 40 yrs old now) and did a test to confirm this. Swapped to Insulin and attending DAFNE in two weeks time. In meantime I found out I have retinopathy background damage in both eyes and I do have nerve damage in feet with the right one being worst. I cant help wondering if they had looked into this 9 years ago things may have not been quite so damaged. However, I am determined to complete DAFNE and hope my HBA1C of 11.9 can reduce asap.
