[QUOTE="Lesleywo, post: 1434796, member: 112692"] It's strange because I thought once I'd been confirmed as LADA (I'd been in LADA limbo for 4 years) I would be better with my diet than I usually am. Oddly enough I think I've been worse. I've been reading the posts on this site for the last 3 years, reading up on LADA and I pretty much know what to expect. I feel I'm well informed. I went to a new GP the other day and asked why my endo said I should keep my BS under 5 before meals (which I am finding pretty much impossible with LCHF). He was very surprised and said that is more appropriate for a 16 year old, not someone my age. I talked about LADA, diabetes and blood sugars a bit and he asked me what I did for a living ... thought I must have worked in the medical field given my knowledge. I have this forum to thank for that. I am currently wading through Bernstein's Diabetes Solution and Think Like a Pancreas. I'm probably a long way off insulin but hey, it doesn't hurt to be prepared. I think the rot will really set in and the penny will drop when I start to get some high numbers on my metre. Anyhoots, I'll come back to this post and let you all know :-) [/QUOTE]
