[QUOTE="Pinkerbell, post: 544695, member: 64730"] I was diagnosed with "likely type 1" April 2013, I am 39, with a bmi of around 20 It was my GAD auto antibodies, which my consultant described as "massively high" which led to the conclusion of likely type 1, Since then, having done my research online, I am confused as to why I haven't officially been diagnosed with LADA, as that seems to perfectly describe what is happening to me, I even have a history of autoimmune thyroid disease! I have never seen the same consultant twice and one of them did say in passing "Oh, you have 1.5!" but wouldn't elaborate. Everyone else seems to go out of their way to avoid using terms other than type 1 or 2. Does anyone know why this might be? And is there any benefit to pushing for a LADA or 1.5 diagnosis? [/QUOTE]
