[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1014330, member: 30007"] [USER=195751]@IZ THE LEG END[/USER] - LADA is essentially late onset Type 1 diabetes. It is caused by an Autoimmune response. Giving a LADA any kind of insulinogenic drug will speed the destruction of the beta cells due to the way in which the autoimmune system latches on to insulin production to attack them. You are far better off either going very low carb to reduce insulin production and therefore reduce the autoimmune response or to start taking insulin, which will alleviate your body having to produce insulin, and again protect beta cells. You should only need very small amounts if caught early enough, but you should be given both basal (Levemir) and Bolus (quick acting insulin as described above) to properly protect you. You should also get yourself to a diabetic clinic with a proper Diabetic Consultant rather than a GP, as a Diabetic Specialist GP is not going to understand how to properly treat LADA. [/QUOTE]
