[QUOTE="LucySW, post: 1018525, member: 113749"] Honestly, these levels won't do. Have you examined what it is you fear in using insulin? (I was very reluctant to use it early in my LADA diagnosis, because I associated it with hypoglycaemic coma, getting fat and generally losing control in my life, which I crave. It turned out insulin didn't cause any of those things, in fact it gave me back control. In my case, all were unreal fears.) Insulin is the only thing that will get your levels down. If it scares you, limit your doses, which you can do if you keep your carb intake low. Also exercise, which will increase your insulin sensitivity, so keep your needs lower. Insulin saved me. Thanks to it, I generally (not this Christmas) keep my BG levels between 4 and 6. As a result, I feel well and am getting even weller. When I let my levels creep up, I feel awful. I intend to remain well all my life. Also, as a LADA, it is really, really worthwhile working hard to extend your honeymoon. If you do, you may avoid developing full-blown Type 1. Why that is terrific is because then you may never get the ghastly erratic up-and-down BG and hypo worries that so many have to live with. They are horrible. I have every intention of working as hard as I can to keep my honeymoon going. It means I sleep at night without fear of hypos and I know that my body will cope. You'll lose that if you knacker your pancreas now, which is what insulin-stimulating drugs do. You have a great deal to lose. Please read the Dr Bernstein book, which may change your future life. Current clinical orthodoxy is out of date and not properly informed. It harms people. I agree with [USER=30007]@tim2000s[/USER], who said somewhere that doctors who encourage their LADA patients to wipe out their beta cells are morally guilty of negligence. Also, head on over to the LADA forum, where you'll find many stories relevant to you. [/QUOTE]
