It was 12 months ago today that my GP diagnosed me as being LADA rather than T2. My glide slope was almost 7 years,to the point at which I was making little insulin and that sporadically.
What a roller coaster this past 12 months have been; A1c down to 44 from 117, cholesterol down to 3 from 6. something, HDL,LDL and trigs well down as well. Even insulin doses are now fairly even and BGs too. Alright, so there is a blip every now and again when I am not as controlled on diet as I perhaps should be. We all need a treat occasionally (carrots and sticks).
It has been a daily battle (mental and physical) and will continue to be so but very well worth it just to feel as I now do rather that feeling so, so dreadful this time last year.
 
You've come a long way Alan, hope your good progress continues :)
 
Well done Alan. Its so wonderful to read your sucess story. I'm sure it helps new people to the forum see too that there can be light at the end of the tunnel...there is a lot of hard work and a steep learning curve but goodness its so worth it! You should feel very proud

Well done! Personally I get a great deal of satisfaction by being able to say "I did that" and I get inspiration from others who have made the same decision, to take back control of their lives.
Although my GP and DN are both supportive, I do wish they could help spread the word rather than follow the guidelines.
 
Congratulations Alan... You should feel very proud of what you have achieved.
