[QUOTE="Philip60, post: 108268, member: 16482"] At age 46, within 6 months I lost over a stone in weight, (from 10 stone something down to 9) BMI down to about 18. I felt cold much of the time, my skin was dry, finger tips and inside of nose often cracking. Oh, and I got very thirsty, especially just before bedtime. Everybody said I looked too thin... Am now type 1 (LADA) on insulin. BMI up to 22 and other problems sorted. :) btw, my GP, who thought I was type 2 and had me on 4 Metformins, had never heard of LADA, and didn't know what I was talking about when I mentioned it. I had to persuade him to send me to a consultant for proper diagnosis! :roll: [/QUOTE]
