[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2057205, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes, it's possible you may have something like MODY or an unusual diabetes type. I worry that your medication doesn't seem to be being well managed by your team. For starters having Gliclazide together with insulin is unusual and I note you now only have Basal and not Bolus as well? Nothing wrong with just Basal as long as it works and the dose is right. When you were on Basal/Bolus did you carb-count? If you are in a T1 honeymoon then typically patients might be on Basal/Bolus but with low shots. These would increase as the honeymoon phase progressed. If you are in fact T2 then with the right low-carb diet the need for insulin might fade. I think the only real problem is whether your diabetes type is unusual? BTW there is no specific test for LADA. C-peptide is the most common and useful test and GAD might indicate if positive the cause (antibodies) of beta cell destruction. [/QUOTE]
