Hi
I am looking for some advice. I was diagnosed March 2019 with type 2 and have had good control with diet and exercise. Over the last couple of weeks I haven’t been able to control my BG and went back to GP who told me I had tested positive for antibodies back in March 2019 (no one told me this) and that I was most likely LADA. I have been started on metaformin - only been a couple of days so too early to tell how that is going. My question is should I be pushing for insulin to preserve my remaining beta cells? Also what would be the benefit of preserving them?
Many thanks
