Goodness I am sorry to hear you are subject to those comments. How nasty. It is not necessarily the fault of the patient. I was listening to Alexander Van Tulliken the other day and he was talking about ultra processed foods and how that is causing a lot of health problems. I think personally it is unfair to blame the patient. I know lots of people who are diabetic and pre-diabetic. It is becoming more and more common.

You’re in your 30s which would be a pretty common time to be diagnosed as a Type 1. It used to be thought to be a childhood condition but just as many adults as children are diagnosed with Type 1. The oldest person was in their 90s!

If they do the antibodies tests that would be useful.

We are all have different ways of coping no way is best if its not good for you .
 
Hi everyone, I had some bloods done and my GP made the following comment on my notes: LADA; for DM team to review. So should I take this as a confirmation that I have LADA?

I’d say it doesn’t. It says the diabetes team to review your bloods.

How long is it since they were done?

No you should speak to the diabetes team about it, they’ll decide. Your GP is unlikely to have been able to do the tests to identify LADA
