Hi, this is a completely unrelated topic apart from the T1 diagnosis that we both have. I have close relatives in Scotland as my dad lived there for a while getting on for 80 years ago…. His surname was Usher and I just wondered if this is yours? Hope you don’t mind me asking… thanks.

Hi there, UK T1D. I have been MDI since diagnosis approx.32 yrs ago. I have, in the past, been offered a pump by DSN but didn’t want tubed one. Now the compact and discrete Omnipod 5 and Omnipod Dash are on the scene.
Are they funded or do you need to self fund?

Hi @drawbridge35, it seems you have posted your question on admins profile page rather than in the open forum, it won’t be seen by many members here and possibly only by admin who may not reply, it may be best if you start a thread on the forum where members can see it and help you :)

My husband is T2, and was using Semaglutide, unfortunately it caused him to have a severe case of pancreatitis so had to stop using it or any of the other types.

You're posting this on your profile, where very few people'll see it. Please get looked at. Ankles can swell for a lot of reasons, one of which is the heart not pumping hard enough, or your veins being damaged... Angry red splotches could be anything, from just a simple yeast infection to a sore about to break open. Get yourself to a doctor, please. It could be nothing, it could be something, but you do need help.

I am not sure if I am LADA or Type 1. I am not clear what the difference is?

Lada is a diabetes that happens to slimmer people usually from age of 35 upwards - and slowly after 5 years or less after diagnosis ( usually wrongly as a T2 ) your pancreas stops making insulin and to live one now needs injected insulin . You've become a T1.

Treatment for Lada and T1 is the same.

There is no official definition of LADA (or Type 1.5) which is why some doctors avoid using the term and prefer to describe it as a variant of Type 1 diagnosed as an adult.
is not necessarily something that only happens to slimmer people. I have read reports from people who were assumed to have type 2 because they were overweight and it was later found to be Type 1.

The only argument I have seen for a different name is to highlight to doctors that Type 1 can be diagnosed at any age (over 50% of people with Type 1 were diagnosed as adults ). But, once you have the diagnosis, I think it is simpler to just use the term "Type 1". There is no benefit in using a tern which few people understand, especially when we are "fighting" against people assuming diabetes just means type 2.
