[QUOTE="oldgreymare, post: 2385995, member: 20373"] This seems to be the experience of so many late onset T1s. I was just lucky to be initially diagnosed in Singapore where the default process was to put ALL new diabetics under endocrinologist review - I had fairly severe onset symptoms and weight loss (but not DKA) when initially diagnosed, so my endo put me on insulin assuming I just had insulin resistance beta cell burnout - 3 months later and HBAc1 down from 13% to 7%, he ordered c peptide and GAD Ab tests - sadly both came back as indicative as LADA/T1 - which he wasn't expecting, but he was great helping me to move to T1 style management on MDI. Probably I continued as LADA for about 2 more years - now firmly T1 as I have zero endogenous insulin production. I do hope that GP training catches up with latest understanding of LADA and mature T1 onset sometime soon. [/QUOTE]
