[QUOTE="WhiteCat27, post: 1986888, member: 497389"] Hi all another update as I've been to see the consultant earlier today. If I am honest, it was a very confusing experience. He didn't tell me everything very clearly. But I've been put on new medicine to try for a month (Forxiga) alongside my other ones which now looking at the side effects, I'm not really looking forward to as I've already experienced most of them due to high blood sugar levels! I'll also be getting tested for MODY, but the consultant said himself that it's unlikely my mum has it as it's clear she has type 1, so how would I have it, as it's passed from parent to child through a gene mutation? Very confusing. He pretty much said that I either have MODY or type 2, which contradicts everything I've been told, as at least three diabetic nurses have told me they think it's likely I have LADA or MODY, the specialist diabetic nurse made it clear to me that I in no way can be a type 2 due to my age and although I am overweight, it's not to the point of it causing type 2. The consultant even said my sugar levels weren't that bad despite the hba1c being 70, a massive increase from the 47 I had in May. Anyway I thought I'd update you all as you've all been very helpful with your advice and maybe my current situation could help someone else out! [/QUOTE]
