[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 26125, member: 8110"] the usual Alphabets for these so called T1.5s is LADA or MODY. You seem to have got both. Have you remembered it wrong? What tests did they do to get this diagnosis. jusst guessing isn't good enough. How are you controlling your condition? . If you can control BG on diet or Metformin or sulphonylureas or a combination of some/all of these, you are essentially a T2 and if insulin is essential, you would need a test called c-peptide to be sure whether you are insulin resistant or not producing any, which is the functional difference between T2 and T1 MODY and LADA are both metabolically like T1 in that insulin production stops. As to Testing this is very much a sore point for many of us here. You have a [u]right[/u] to self-test until you, at least, learn what to do. There's no other way. If it gets left for a whole year, there can be much damage done. Look up your local PCT protocols. they will be somewhere on-line. You should be offered firstly 3 monhs of education and lifestyle change and then a check, then Metformin for 3 months then again a check and then further treatments until your condition is stable. that's for T2. T1s need urgent treatment by a specialist. What should not happen is that you are sent away an left to get by on your own. You have stumbled on one of the best resources for diabetics here. What we don't know between us, we can point you to somewhere else. If you have been left to cope with just the advice not to eat too many grapes, Just go to your health centre and make a HUGE fuss. What are they there for if not to treat you? the GP is not simply a diagnosis service. That's not to say that the most likely dietary advice that you will get is actually going to help. " Eat loads of complex carbohydrates with every meal," will only push your BG up higher. [/QUOTE]
