Message: <blockquote data-quote="NewlyLADA" data-source="post: 2015216" data-attributes="member: 502051">Hello @andrea_NuBeAmerica does the process backwards they start you in Basel 24 hour dose so it works in the background then as you lose the good cells and need insulin to eat they start you in carb counting/ fixed units prior to eating (fast acting) I am still learning and I have not started my fast acting yet I’m still eating less and controlling it with the 24 hour Basel. I have read the same as everyone else about the honeymoon phase .. insulin helps... glad you had the right tests done it was a confusing mess for me to get the dr’s to find out what was going on. I was just diagnosed in December, then in January I received insulin and was diagnosed with LADA, after about a month my nausea went away and my ketones were gone. The high ketones is what lead the dr’s to the conclusion of the LADA or type 1.5</blockquote>
