Anyone with LADA

>My type of diabetes seems to be an anomaly. My BG shoots up after I eat more than 25 gr of carb, then if I don't eat within a couple of hours, it crashes at 4 hours. My PCP now says I am very "different" from his other diabetic patients and he thinks I have LADA.Can anyone tell me if this sounds like it might be right based on my weird presentation?<

I have no idea what this is called, if anything, but anyhoo..... after a couple of years of hanging out in two different yahoo diabetes groups, I've heard this tale a few times. If I understand it right, it's like sometimes when a pancreas starts to go haywire, it sometimes swings in either direction in response to eating carbs, at times allowing the blood glucose to go way low, and at other times way high.

Most disconcerting, when you don't know from one hour to the next what in heck's going to happen. Also, from what I've heard, the best prevention for this is eating frequent, small, low carb meals-- never allowing more than 3 hours or so to go by without eating, never eating refined sugar, HFCS, or very many starches at one sitting. If this were happening to me, I'd get really lean and mean with myself, sticking to a good, predictable, holistic, portion-controlled way of eating, and I'd also test, test, test. For now, follow doctor's orders and see what happens. I would definitely consult with an endocrinologist about this-- you may have run the course with what your primary care knows how to handle. Just an idea. Your nice low A1c is definitely in your favor, whatever you decide to do.
