[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 689051, member: 91575"] LADA's (T1.5) still have some beta cells producing insulin. There is much evidence that shows beta cells destruct only with high blood sugar levels (above around 5.6) and that LADA's can keep their remaining beta cells, maybe indefinitely, if they can keep low sugar levels. I am LADA. For the last 4 months I have been striving to keep my bg levels below 5 fasting and below 6 2hrs after meals. Over this period of time I can not detect any deterioration of my beta cells. Eg my bg levels, with the same food intake and weight are the same now as they were 4 months ago. 4 months is not a long period of time, and things could change anytime soon. But I am convinced that low blood sugar levels help preserve what remaining beta cells we have. Diagnosed LADA nearly a year ago now, no insulin or meds. [/QUOTE]
