[QUOTE="Millie74, post: 2392086, member: 513835"] I was diagnosed with LADA in November 2019 after ssking for GAD antibody test and c peptide. GAD 1700. C peptide 600. I had a telephone consultation with consultant May 2020 because of the pandemic. She said it was ok to carry on low carbing as had got my hba1c down to 48mmol. She said have 50g carbs minimum or may go into DKA. I haven’t had a consultation since, so called the number she gave me for the hospital diabetic nurse incase numbers shot up. I told her my fasting is generally 8 now. They know my last hba1c was 50, but nurse said I’m masking it with low carb and gave me an appointment to see them about insulin on Friday. They said it’s an autoimmune disease, which of course I understand. Not keen to go on insulin. I teach Dance. Worry about hypos etc. Any thoughts please? Up in middle of night worrying. I called them as it’s been a year since first consultation in phone since LADA diagnosis and was worried not being monitored for insulin, as was told would be. I kind of regret calling now. Not sure if that’s silly though. Want to do right thing for health. [/QUOTE]
