[QUOTE="Gocmstar, post: 561016, member: 112158"] Hi raychoi you, I am newly diagnosed and have been obsessing as well. In fact after my first Gtt 3 months ago I gave gone and had a whole lot of tests as I was worried I might have LADA given that I am 54 years, female and quiet slim. 180 cm weight 61kg. I also experienced weird stuff like continuous dry mouth at night, tingling in fingers at night and constant low grade headaches so you can imagine my paranoia!! My high glucose levels was picked up in a routine fasting blood test which came back at 7.2. I panicked as this indicated I was diabetic. I immediately went in to melt down and hardly ate any carbs for two weeks prior to my first GTT and came back with a reading of pre 5.9 1 hr 12.8 2 hr 7.8. I knew this was the wrong reading as unlike you who had the sweet drink prior I starved myself of carbs. So 3 months on I did the whole thing again including my hba1c , GAD antibodies, c-peptide and GTT for peace of mind . Results as follows GTT pre 6.5 1hr 11.1 2hr 9.4 (still pre diabetic but has gone up due to my carb starvation of the 1st reading) . Hbac1 5.7 c-peptide 0.41 GAD normal so although I am not sure what all this means But at least I know I don't have LADA which is a huge relief. I think if you are scared and are still getting weird symptoms I would gave the test for peace of mind. I certainly feel better having done this. I have also upped my exercise routine and although I have cut out all sweets, cakes, white flour and white rice I am not so afraid to eat carbs like brown rice, hi fibre pasta, fruit and whole grain breads etc. I am actually starting to feel heaps better and everyone is saying how well I look.
