My doctor has recommended I see their diabetic educator here in Australia as part of my diabetic management programme.
I was diagnosed as type 1.5 / LADA in 2004 and have a more or less consistent HbA1c of 7.4
My initial phone chat with the educator was disappointing to say the least. She claimed I was 'just type 2' and 'had never heard of type 1.5' although I explained that I was diagnosed by a professor of endocrinology in 2004 and went straight onto insulin.
Can anyone point me towards some material to share with this educator, so that she can help me and her other patients with the same diagnosis? Thank you
