It took covid which prompted me to get a change of GP as could not make contact with diabetes nurse for advice. New surgery insisted on an immediate blood test which meant having minimum  weekly/ fortnightly telephone consultations with hospital diabetes clinic and confusion all round as apparently I had been taught to treat myself as a type 1 although always told I was type 2. I have now had GADS result (after 4 months wait) and found out yesterday I was a typical LADA and am officially to treat myself as a type 1 with a shiny new toy ie ketone meter and reader as I am regularly over 20 blood glucose reading. Was put onto Libre in October which prompted GADS test withing first 2 weeks of use. Can't be many people who can benefit from covid but thought I would tell you my story. Today task is to read and understand all the ketone meter info - have not found out how to open battery compartment yet. It is a Shore Smart Duo!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
