[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1008044, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. As another poster has said you don't progress from T2 to T1 as such, but two points on that. If your T2 has been around for a long time the pancreas may become damaged and produce less insulin requiring injected insulin. Also some T2s are actually mis-diagnosed T1s which can come on a widely varying rates. If you have excess weight you are more likely to be T2 but if you are slim and have possibly lost weight unexpectedly in recent months then Late onset T1 becomes likely. If you have excess weight then the low-carb diet plus suitable tablets it may be enough to avoid ever needing insulin. If you are a Late onset T1 (LADA) then tablets may work for a while but insulin will eventually be needed, [/QUOTE]
