Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="letteyc" data-source="post: 221572" data-attributes="member: 37940">I missed out in my post that when I started seeing these numbers rise, I had just come out of an overnight stay in hospital for a small head injury. Whilst I was in hospital I had severe upper abdominal pain again and low blood pressure and sickness whilst I was experiencing the pain. They didn't look into it, just sent me home in the morning with a head injury leaflet. It's been since then that the blood sugars numbers have been 8 mmol + . That was about a month ago. My friend pointed out that perhaps it was pancreaitis, and at that point I had no idea the pancreas had anything to do with blood sugars hehe. But reading about this LADA has made me think that maybe the two are associated.If I had Pancreaitis and my pancreas just.. died... and as a result i'm seeing these high numbers now, would I still be a type 2, or a type 1? This is all so confusing - yet when I was diagnosed, I thought I had it in the bag! Thanks for the quick responses, it has been frustrating Snodger and I remember how worried I was when it first hit 6 mmol, if only I knew back then... Insulin is what i've been concerned about, but if it allows me to get myself under control again, it's worth it - however I work with a type 1 Diabetic and have seen first hand what happens with too much insulin.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> Thanks for the link Catherine, i've had a read, didn't even know there was such thing as LADA. It does fit with me I think, will have to see what the doctor thinks. Though I have zero hope in doctors, at least the ones i've had in the past.</blockquote>
