[QUOTE="Emile_the_rat, post: 1909906, member: 301751"] No you can’t go from type 2 to type 1. Type 1 and 2 are two different diseases, only thing they have in common are high blood sugar. Type 1 is autoimmun, meaning antibodies are attacking you beta cells, so you have no insulin producing cells left. Type 1.5 or LADA stands for Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults. This is a slow on set of type 1. Type 2 have beta cells, but the body struggles to use the insulin. Medications for type 2 diabetes triggers a larger release of insulin, over years this high demand of insulin can lead to beta-cell burn out. Resulting in need of insulin in addition to type 2 medications for treating blood sugar. [/QUOTE]
