[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2085890, member: 41816"] I had RH as a child onwards (managed by increasingly low carbs). BGs reached type 2 levels in my mid 40s, but I got my levels down by cutting carbs further before getting a T2 diagnosis. Am now 52. There are reports ([USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] is an example) of people who have RH who are misdiagnosed with T2 when it was RH all along. I speculate that happens often. I have seen various articles and studies over the years which suggest that RH is a fairly common precursor to T2 for some people. A kind of pre-pre-diabetes, where developing insulin resistance leads to insulin overshoots, hypos (which are interpreted as hunger and carb cravings) which lead to more carb eating, which lead to another hypo, and so on. The side effect is sometimes weight gain, leading to more insulin resistance, and sooner or later, the insulin resistance increases to T2 levels => T2 diagnosis. [USER=112692]@Lesleywo[/USER] Can I ask, are you still officially diagnosed with LADA? Or did the diagnosis change to RH? I see no reason why the two couldn't co-exist, certainly until the LADA reduced beta cell production far enough to knock out the possibility of an insulin overshoot, so I was mainly asking whether your signature is still accurate? :) [/QUOTE]
