Hi folks. Quick update - first clinic appointment yesterday and diagnosis now changed from type 2 to LADA as GAD antibody test ‘strongly positive’. Been referred to DNS at hospital to learn about next steps - managing insulin and carb counting etc. Not on insulin yet but advised prob better to start soon as weight still gradually dropping. BMI now 19. Been advised not to be too restrictive with diet (due to weight loss) so expect BG levels could increase and need for insulin will then become more urgent. Will work it all out eventually but would be grateful for any thoughts and advice. Hope you’re all having a fab weekend
