[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1795519, member: 30007"] My view is that you should look to preserve what beta cell function you have remaining, as you are undergoing an autoimmune attack on them. Much of the autoimmune response seems to be linked to the precursor to insulin, proinsulin, that is created in the beta cells prior to insulin. Most of the therapies that have been looked at for curing T1/T1.5 seem to require beta cells in the body to encourage them to multiply. As a result, it seems daft to take a drug that will encourage your immune system to destroy what you have by causing the generation of even more proinsulin, when you can protect them by using exogenous insulin, which should reduce the amount of insulin that the body will produce. Obviously, it's up to you, but in my view, treating LADA like Type 2 is the wrong way to go, and you should try and preserve what beta cells you have!
