[QUOTE="Circuspony, post: 2203429, member: 432241"] I think the trouble with this study from a T1 perspective is our dodgy immune system is slowly and consistently killing off our beta cells. So even if some pop back to life / regrow they are just targets for killing off. I was diagnosed at 43. My hba1c was 147 on diagnosis and I'd likely had it for a while. The GP tried to treat me as a T2 but my body was too far gone, ketones were high and it was A&E with insulin within a fortnight. My honeymoon period has lasted a good while. I'm nearly 3 years since dx and have a little of my own insulin production. Some of that may be due to being part of a study for another drug that interfered with T-cells to slow down the auto immune response. I wouldn't worry about going on to insulin. I lose / gain weight in line with the exercise I do vs how much I've eaten in much the same way as I did before. I'm fairly low carb diet wise but having insulin available does give you more flexibility. [/QUOTE]
