[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 634247, member: 59930"] High BS levels don't kill beta cells directly, rather high BS levels can draw attention to the beta cells which are working crazy overtime, making the antibodies attack them on a greater scale.... Or at least this is the most accepted possibility according to the consultants. Also, just because high BS may possibly cause accelerated beta cell destruction doesn't mean insulin will preserve them necessarily. There is no evidence for either of these theories... I also never said it was the BS that killed the cells...I just said they had obviously been killed...(by the immune system.) The truth is they have no idea what affects the rate of beta cell destruction in LADA or why it's not an all out immediate obliteration and all research carried out has not given consistent or significant results so everything out there is little more than speculation... Hence why the important thing is BS levels and that my levels are not acceptable and need brought down and it's probably only insulin that will bring it down so that's what will probably be prescribed when I go back in October and I am prepared for it...I think [/QUOTE]
