[QUOTE="knowlestr, post: 1804232, member: 382758"] thanks, an interesting feed, in some respects it mirors my experiences. Diagnosed Feb 2017 with a BG in exceess of 33 - had a health screen at work, spoke to the GP about the numbers who flapped a little then said to go to A&E - went there the next day and was taken straight to the clinic where i received 2 shots. they treated in the first instance as T2 - although i did not display the comment traits, and after some pushing got GAD tested and now T1 LADA - i have the 100mg of Sitagliptin ona morning and 4x Metformin a day. seems standard and the diabetic specialist GP is not willing to make changes or suggestions. am thinking of dropping the meds in favour of diet and more exercise - i know this is good with t2 but how would it be with LADA? from an exercise perspective can routinely cycle 60miles without too many issues, go to the gym etc, the usual fare (although i can't run too much due to warn out knees) should I opt for change or remain with the status quo and the likelihood that, either way, I will require insulin sometime in the coming years ? my last HbAiC was 38.(Oct 17) my daily average since 01-02-17 for morning BG tests is 6.9mmol cheers [/QUOTE]
