[QUOTE="Pinkerbell, post: 546923, member: 64730"] Thank you everybody for your input, it's been really interesting. I'm not going to push for a LADA diagnosis at the moment as firstly, I don't think I'll get one in any case! and secondly, as mo1905 pointed out, it won't make any difference to my treatment. My consultants and DSN aren't daft, they know what's going on and they're keeping a really close eye on things. [USER=91575]@Ian DP[/USER] - I did question my medication on my last visit, however they deem it necessary to keep my BG down in the evenings and are not yet comfortable starting me on insulin because of my daytime fasting levels. Not sure how I feel about it, I think I've been mostly burying my head in the sand for the past 12 months and now I need to face up to it and educate myself. Do you know if the lchf diet might have a negative impact on my Cholesterol? I found out yesterday they want to start me on statins :( Interestingly, I have read that a Swansea hospital is trialing LADA diagnoses to try and establish whether it does make a difference to outcomes . it was only a short reference in an online article, so can't be sure of authenticity. Typing on Android touch keyboard makes posting on forums a bit of a nightmare, it seems to take forever! May have to resurrect laptop :/ [/QUOTE]
