[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 691866, member: 12578"] The final bit before diagnosis can seem quick because that's when the overt symptoms show up; weight loss, frequent urination etc , Before this occurs there is a progressive loss of beta cells They are even studying this 'pre diabetic' period by studying the development of diabetes from birth in children who are genetically susceptible to T1. [url]http://www.diapedia.org/type-1-diabetes-mellitus/natural-history-of-pre-type-1-diabetes[/url] I have LADA. I actually had two periods of symptoms . During the first , I lost quite a bit of weight and had many of the classic symptoms of T1. (I tested myself,thought I had T2 since Type 1 didn't happen in adults!!! I was moving country and stupidly ended up not seeing a doctor . Fortunately, I assume I had sufficient beta cells left so that my lower weight body was able to manage for some time. I was careful because I 'knew' I had T2. I used a low GI diet and did a fair amount of exercise for 3 years. I'm sure there were times that my glucose levels were higher than they should have been .They can't though have been high all the time. When everything collapsed, and I developed all the classic symptoms again , my glucose levels were very high but my HbA1c wasn't. . It would have been if my glucose levels had been that high for 3 months. It was quite a shock to end up in hospital, to test antibody positive, and to be told that I had a slower developing form of T1 all the time. [/QUOTE]
