[QUOTE="LucySW, post: 1302222, member: 113749"] Hi Rosieroo. I'm another Type 1.5. It means, as someone above said, that you can extend your honeymoon a lot and maybe never develop full-blown Type 1. That's good because it means you can keep your insulin doses low, which is much better for you in all sorts of ways. I was dx in June 2014, started basal/bolus Jan 2015 and am still on more or less the same insulin dose, 14 units/day, nice and LOW. It's in your interest to get straight onto insulin now. Waiting will mean the end of that nice slow honeymoon. Doctors who aren't used to LADA/T1 often make this mistake. It *is* a mistake. Take charge of your future and be well. Only with insulin will you be able to slow the degradation of your beta cells. The drugs you're on now will wallop them. I was very afraid of going on insulin in the beginning, but it's saved me. I low carb and exercise and as a result I have not put on weight. I am svelte and steady at weight of my 20s. I'm linking (or trying to) my story and Ian DP's. Have a read.
