[QUOTE="sgm14, post: 2338537, member: 517358"] I'm afraid not. At the time I didn't really query it. My sister was diagnosed Type 1 as a teenager and I knew a bit about type 1 and type 2, but not LADA and I knew before going to my doctor what was wrong with me, but as my symptoms were nothing like hers I was expecting to be told I was type 2, so just accepted it when it came. A few years later I did query with another endo if they were sure that I was type 2, but he said it was impossible to be sure and as far as he was concerned, if I needed insulin, I needed it whether I was type 1 or 2 or Lada. (Only quoting my endo, and I have to be careful saying that, because I mentioned this (not on this forum) and almost got my head bitten off for 'saying Type 1's and 2's should be treated the same' which wasn't what I said or meant) [/QUOTE]
