Hi @Cazt, now I'm wondering how you got on at your recent GP visit? I am another tireless researcher (get very tired during other activities) and in limbo and with unpredictable results! How low carb are you eating? I am on <20g carbs daily. I very rarely see 4s, often 5s, high 6s far more often than I would like. 7 would make me jump out of my skin and 8 would incline me to put my head in the gas oven (a safe threat with natural gas).Hi tpower, I'd be really interested to hear you got on since your last post. I am also low weight (BMI 18.2) and prediabetic for the past 18 months. HBA1c measured three monthly, originally 43 then 44, 43 and recently 45 mmol/mol. I had a GAD test, negative, but the endo the GP has been communicating with said no other tests would be useful. I've been on a very low carb diet for 18 months but can see no pattern from what I eat or from exercise - sometimes BG is low when I expect it to be high and vice versa. Very rarely in the 4s, sometimes in the 5s, more often in the 6s and frequently 7s and 8s or higher after eating. I'm seeing the GP again next week after the most recent HBA1c and just don't know what to say to her, except that I'm in limbo and would like some answers or at least some interest shown in what is happening to me. Any suggestions gratefully received after your experiences.
Would just like to ad that I have researched tirelessly for the past 18 months into all this and am 'up to here' with reading papers!
Do you suspect you are in fact living with LADA?
