I hope your endo will run antibodies, and also a C-peptide and vitamin D status on you. Vitamin D has been implicated in both Types of Diabetes and it took me taking 4000 IU to get up to optimal.
And since you have adult-onset, I also hope they check thyroid status (TSH), since Thyroid autoimmune disorder goes with adult-onset LADA.
So do B12 deficiency (parietal cell antibodies) and gluten intolerance.
I drive myself nuts when I try to research how all this is tied together, maybe you can lay it out for me?
My second son was born with a vit d deficiency and the only thing they could attribute it to after a year of treatment and tests, was that he didn't get enough from me while I was pregnant. My levels were in the lower "normal" range, though I'm aware we need more than the current recommendation. I try to take 2000IU/day, should I take more? Will that help control my blood sugar?
I'm also hypothyroid, have been since I was 10...but am on the right dose of Armour.
I was B12 deficient at one point too, but my levels were brought up to normal, though I think I should probably get tested again.
It just seems like everything is so interconnected and I have a hard time figuring out exactly what I should be doing. And of course all the doctors I go to just want me to take prescription meds and treat the symptoms. I'm much more interested in getting more to the root of the cause and trying to get all my hormones and other systems balanced.
