Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="EllieM" data-source="post: 2648487" data-attributes="member: 372717">Hi [USER=581398]@diabquest[/USER] and welcome to the forums.Many forum members are asleep right now so you may have to wait till morning for a response from some LADA folk.I'll tell you what I know, as a long term T1.LADA can certainly develop slowly and we have plenty of people posting here who got it as an adult, some much much older than you.Forum rules rightly don't allow us to diagnose (we aren't doctors and even if we were we don't know your medical history). So while your symptoms sound to me like they could be diabetes and LADA is a possibility (though thin people get T2 too) there's really nothing much I can say apart from suggest you see your doctor, since there are lots of other conditions that could also match to your symptoms.(And there are more types of diabetes than T1/LADA and T2...)Have you ever had an hba1c done? That tends to be the first test that a GP does to diagnose diabetes. My suggestion is that you go to your GP with your symptoms and tell him your concerns.Good luck, and once more welcome.</blockquote>
