Hello, I was told in August last year that my hba1c was raised at 43, and so I improved my diet, lost weight, tried to get more active etc, but my hba1c has risen to 81 despite a significant weight loss. My 2 youngest sons have t1D so I suspected LADA. The DSN at the surgery told me it was impossible, so I had to fight to get tested but the results came back high antibodies and I was diagnosed on Wednesday.
I think my surgery have never come across LADA before so they don't know what to do with me.
I am waiting for a prescription and for a referral to the DSN/ adult diabetes clinic at the hospital.
It's all so lackadaisical I can't get my head round it.
Presumably they think there's no rush because I'm not in DKA.
My fasting bg is 12.0 every morning, up from 10.0 just last week. So it is obviously progressing (I'm also on the maximum dose of Metformin), but it seems I'm the only one concerned about treating me!!
