[QUOTE="Billy_Pilgrim, post: 1361107, member: 354360"] My consultant (who's quite a well-known LADA specialist) said that he'd found that it was gliclazide that burned out beta cell function in his patients, and that sitagliptin wouldn't affect them - are you speaking from your own experience? I don't want to roll the dice on all the other myriad possible side effects though. Ultimately this drug is only around 10 years old, so the long-term effects remain fairly mysterious. I'm going to be persistent! You know where you are with insulin. It's perverse, but I've managed to eat like a normal person today with total impunity, but rather than feeling liberated by it, I'm just freaked out that I don't know where I stand. I had an incremental rise when I ate around 50g carbs between meals, but an hour ago I had an obscenely carby cookie that had no business being in my house - it barely registered. I'm about to go to bed with BG of 5.5, which is lower than I'd normally like. [/QUOTE]
