[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2306226, member: 41816"] Hi flora, it is really very simple. T1 is auto immune. If the body's own immune system kills off the beta cells then it is T1, whether it comes on fast, or slow (as in LADA). there are other reasons why beta cells can die or stop functioning. Certain meds (e.g. steroids), certain illnesses, a fatty liver and pancreas, genetics, exhausted over production after years of being T2, Pancreatitis, and so on. If the amount of insulin produced declines far enough, these people may need to inject insulin, on a temporary or permanent basis, but they won’t be T1 or LADA. Instead, they will be ‘steroid induced diabetes’, or T2, or 3c, or whatever, depending on their personal situation. Having said all that, some researchers think that there may be an autoimmune factor for some T2s, but the research is not conclusive, and the idea is not widely accepted. Plus, the nature of that autoimmune factor is different from the T1 autoimmune situation, so I only mention it in passing. [/QUOTE]
