Does being diagnosed with LADA make a big difference to you treatment?
I'm asking this because what you've described, Alison, sounds a lot like me. I go along to the drop in clinic every so now and then , admitting that i am testing because i feel rough and that my readings are scariliy high (mid teens last time, i hit the big 25 on saturday), and they send me with reassurance to my GP to get an Hba1c done, which they predict will be above 7. It wasn't, it was 6.2 or something. I'm hoping that if i get a higher Hba1c then my GP will up my metformin dose but it never happens.
I've been diagnosed just over 2 years and when i was first diagnosed somebody spotted a ketone and assumed i was type 1. but i responded well to metformin and everybody assumes i'm type 2. I've been wondering for a bit but i doubt my GP will shell out for a blood test.
