[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 423994, member: 59930"] Hi hell bunny I'm similar to you with regard to everything apart from that I don't need to inject yet. Sometimes I feel like that's worse because I know it's inevitable so I feel like everyday I'm waiting for a bomb to drop and everyday it doesn't come I worry it will be the next day.... I switch from not ever ever wanting to have to inject to wishing that I didn't have to keep waiting for it to come to wishing that I was type 2 so that i could stick to my little Low GI diet forever and never have to worry about insulin... Then there's the fact that I have 2 children and my husbands now getting into talks about having another and were at loggerheads because I know it will mean insulin if I get pregnant again and then the whole cycle mentioned above starts all over again...he thinks I should just get it over with and end up on insulin whereas I'm constantly trying to avoid it and praying for a miracle cure that's totally not going to come anytime soon.. :-( and so the cycle continues... Sometimes I feel LADA is the worst type of diabetes because of this and because even the doctors don't seem to understand or know anything about it so u feel like ur wondering round in the dark not knowing what's coming round the corner though I'm sure people will disagree and say how every type of diabetes is just as bad as the others but different strokes for different folks and all that... My morning fasting levels are always between 7mmol and 8mmol and my consultant says that's absolutely fine and exactly what he would expect for a diabetic to be in the morning so that's not too bad even though its not 'normal' but then again we are diabetic not normal anyway lol Sorry that this post is no more optimistic than urs but I just wanted to let u know ur not alone with it all :-) Diagnosed with GD in 2010, Completely disappeared postpartum. Re-diagnosed December 2012 with type 1.5 diabetes, age 26, BMI 22 currently controlled by only Metformin, 500mg twice a day. [/QUOTE]
