The more antibodies you have the quicker your cells will be destroyed - that’s why people with diabetes type 1.5 have low number of GAD antibodies thus it takes years for them to require insulin.If these antibodies disappeared sooner then you would retain more of your insulin production but I’ve read somewhere that people with autoimmune conditions have flare-ups so potentially when I was first diagnosed I was having a flare up and there is a potential of having another flare up which may make my antibodies go sky high and destroy any little cells I have</blockquote>
