[QUOTE="Bluemarine Josephine, post: 962657, member: 213188"] Hello, I am Josephine and 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 1. Since, I am on a prolonged honeymoon period using only basal insulin and metformin. If my understanding is correct, my case is called LADA or 1.5. My doctor has explained to me that ‘LADA” is, in fact, semantics and in practical terms "LADA" Diabetics are Type 1 Diabetics in a prolonged honeymoon period which means that our pancreas is still producing some insulin . Eventually, our pancreas will seize production and we will become Type 1 on a basal/bolus scheme. In a simplified way, we are caught in the middle of Type 1 and Type 2 (being insulin dependant and insulin resistant) on a journey towards Type 1. I hope that my explanation is correct. Warm Regards Josephine. [/QUOTE]
