[QUOTE="slip, post: 1844730, member: 182669"] When you do a finger prick test are you using the sides of your fingers? also don't just stick to one or 2 fingers - share the love between all fingers and thumbs! If you do go on MDI you will need to test alot, before every injection basically and it would be good initially to test 2 hrs after a meal. Keep a log of tests, injections and food/carbs as it will help you and your nurse find the right levels for you. I was going to say about the LADA/T1, ask for GAD and c-pep tests to hopefully confirm (although about 25% of tests give a false positive), however with your mum being T2 you may just be genetically more prone to T2, if thats you in your avatar you don't look like the classic T2 'shape' - no offence intended by that comment to anyone and everyone :cool: (we all know there are slim T2s!).
