Hi

I have had several people tell me i need to go and get tests done to see if i really have type 2 or type 1.5..I have been on glucovance..didn't work well for me..numbers were high and then would bottom out..then my dr put me on actos plus met..fasting is still high..now he recently has maxed out the actos to see if this will help my fasting numbers..they are ranging from 130's to 180's,,we are doing this for 2 weeks,,i have been on the higher dose of actos since friday...but i also have multiple sclerosis and they are saying having 1 autoimmune i could very well have this one also..I am just wondering if it could be this way..because i am eating right and doing the right things..it just is not working with me right now..

I'm sure you should ask your doctor about testing. If you do have 1.5 it maybe that you need insulin sooner rather than later.

I am newly diagnosed as LADA, been on Lantus and Humalog since June 19. Have not seen a diatitian yet. I am carb counting, and it is working pretty well. But what difference does the Glicemic index make when counting carbs with Humalog? on low GI, will the Humaog run out before the glucose kicks in? is there a maximum CArb or Carb/sugar load that I should take in any one meal? I know I will have to self test, but what are you other LADA's doing? And has anyone who has lost a signifigant amount of weight, prediagnosis, and without wanting to, gained the weigth back? If so, what was your meal plan?
