[QUOTE="Pinkerbell, post: 544882, member: 64730"] Being labelled t1 is certainly better than being termed as t2 with regards to treatment, but at the moment I have absolutely no access to advice from a nutritionist simply because LADA or t1-insulin is not acknowledged. She can provide advice for t1s on insulin and t2s who are not but I have to wait until I fit into one pigeonhole or another before I can get any professional dietary support. I am noticing, however, from reading threads on here, that procedure varies hugely depending on where you live and who you are seen by, so it could well be that a lot of people don't have this problem, and many might be a hell of a lot worse off than me. Regardless of what they call it, it would be nice to see some pooling and collation of information so that guidelines could be set in place, rather than the 'suck it and see' approach. My problem is not so much with what they choose to call it, or even whether I get I full diagnosis, it's just that at the moment, I feel like I fall into a bit grey area which causes my quality of care to fall below that of a t1 on insulin or a t2 living in this area. Hope that makes sense :) [/QUOTE]
