[QUOTE="Nicknackwack, post: 2417008, member: 545376"] Many thx Ian & Ellie for your replies. Much appreciate your input & experience. Ian - totally empathise and agree with your points and definitely agree with you about the cascade effect following a health event which seems to trigger a diabetes diagnosis autoimmune or otherwise. And, just like you, I was also offered a triple bypass as a prognostic operation which I declined once I got a 2nd opinion and did my research thoroughly. Fortunately I am being carefully monitored. But I absolutely concur with your observation that some meds can trigger an autoimmune response - in my case a beta blocker. Great for protecting the heart but the flip side is that it can cause side effects, high BS being one of them. Ellie - yup it is an interesting subject. I don’t have a link to hand but your own research will draw up interesting findings centred around medical research papers. Stanford university is perhaps the most professional and prominent. It’s certainly not all about lifestyle and diet and autoimmune dysfunction ! And I think you’ll find some good reading concerning the wider consequences of certain medications that are attributed to LADA for example. But what I do know is that it isn’t an exact science. Interestingly current data does show how diabetes diagnosis has gone up exponentially since the pandemic. Why is that ? [/QUOTE]
