Hiya guys!
Just thought I'd share my two bits of good news. First, I had my HbA1c on Friday and it's down from 6.8 to to 5.6! So pleased with that as I thought it might have gone up as I've been on and off different types of insulin for the last couple of months and experimenting with different levels of carb. It's been a very difficult few months, but now it feels it's been worth it
Second,at my consultant appointment on Friday, I was told I had to see his registrar instead, and I was a bit fed-up with that at first, but he was brilliant. Listened to everything I had to say about how difficult it is not knowing what type of diabetes I have. He then went to speak to the consultant and got him to agree to anti-body tests to see if it's LADA. Took the blood there and then, so I'm waiting for the results now. If it comes back positive, I have my diagnosis, if it's negative, there's a chance they'll do MODY tests next. I am so happy I might finally find out what's wrong with me!
Thanks for listening!
