Thank you for sharing! This is very interesting and I will definitely be looking into this. Let me know how your antibody levels go down the track.
I'm currently taking 2 units of Lantus at 8pm every night and no fast acting insulin with meals. Dr Troy Stapleton, radiologist in Queensland, Australia, was diagnosed at 41 with LADA and was in the honeymoon phase for 5 years during which his diet was low carb based on Dr Richard Bernstein. He has done some very simple and interesting You Tube presentations about his diagnosis and diet.
I've been eating a cucumber every day as I read that cucumber is found to contain a hormone needed by the beta cells present in the pancreas.
My diet is also gluten free after reading this:
"It’s possible a gluten-free diet could help extend the honeymoon phase. Researchers in Denmark conducted a case study of a child with type 1 diabetes who didn’t have celiac disease.
After five weeks of taking insulin and eating an unrestricted diet, the child entered a honeymoon phase and no longer required insulin. Three weeks later, he switched to a gluten-free diet.
The study ended 20 months after the child was diagnosed. At this time, he was still eating a gluten-free diet and still didn’t need daily insulin. The researchers suggested that the gluten-free diet, which they called “safe and without side effects,” helped prolong the honeymoon period.
Additional research supports the use of a gluten-free diet for autoimmune disorders like type 1 diabetes, so a long-term gluten-free diet may be beneficial even beyond the honeymoon period."
Anything is worth a try!
