[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2347834, member: 6467"] At the Diabetes UK conference in Liverpool a couple of years back there was a very interesting talk about long term T1s having "guerilla beta cells" which masqueraded as alpha cells to avoid being zapped by the immune system and occasionally popped up to p[roducse some insulin. The idea from this was if you could stop your immune system killing off beta cells then your pancreas might regenerate from these remaining cells. I can't recall seeing anything about this since, but it is an interesting theory. [USER=31377]@searley[/USER] I was diagnosed T2 in 2008 and my insulin production seems to be slowing further (or I have something not working in the control system) although I haven't had a test for a while. I assume the difference between T1 and just an old and knackered pancreas is the presence of antibodies. Probably. [/QUOTE]
