[QUOTE="Millie74, post: 2204412, member: 513835"] All of your questions are really useful. I am in the same position. I was diagnosed type 2 in January with a hba1c of 96. By August it was still at 56mmol despite a BMI of 25 after weight loss and low carb under 50g a day. I had the GAD antibody test. It was positive at 1679 and c peptide was normal. My appointment with endocrinologist is not until March 12th. Long wait. A diabetic nurse called me. The endocrinologist told her too. My last hba1c in December was 45 mmol after further reducing carbs. I am on metformin. Like you worried about insulin. I teach Dance and fear hypos. Also losing driving license a concern. With a few treats at Christmas I had some high bs. Highest was 14 after a tiny bit of icing off side on my husband’s cake. Got back on low carb in Jan and been good. Mostly under 8.0 2 hours post meal. 6-7 fasting. The letter from endocrinologist to GP says thanks for referral. Given positive high antibodies may be LADA. How do you know if you definitely are 1.5? Was just told by GP c peptide normal. I continue to low carb in hope can avoid insulin. Was on it during pregnancy 13 years ago. Hated it and the hypos. [/QUOTE]
