[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 2188871, member: 91575"] LADA generally refers to a new diagnosed T1 who is still producing some insulin... my understanding. So, if you very low carb you might... just might... be able to survive without insulin for a few years, but eventually will need insulin. I did 3 years without insulin, I now take insulin (to keep my BG at normal levels) and have done so for 3 years. I am still in the honeymoon period, because, although taking insulin, the amount I inject is less than normal because I am still producing some natural insulin, all be it less than I was when first diagnosed 6 years ago. Generally speaking, the lower carb you take, the longer you can stay in the honeymoon period, this because it is generally found easier to keep BG levels at normal levels when on a low carb diet. In my opinion, best book to read and understand this is dr Bernstein ‘my solution’ [/QUOTE]
