🎶 Everything Old Is New Again🎶
Had a meeting with an endocrinologist today.
Have some blood tests coming up in May.
I am back on insulin 4 times a day,which I'm not happy about,but have to admit it keeps the numbers down better.
She said I could have been misdiagnosed as a type 2.
"Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults:
LADA is a type of diabetes that shares characteristics with both type 1 and type 2, where the body gradually loses its ability to produce insulin, but initially, the pancreas still produces some insulin. "
If this is the case, I may be on insulin for the rest of my life.
I'm not jumping to any conclusions.
For now back on the old routine.
2-3 units novolog for meals.
18-20 units of lantus at bedtime.
