Message: <blockquote data-quote="EllieM" data-source="post: 2686689" data-attributes="member: 372717">Hi [USER=586581]@MauroSilvano[/USER] and welcome to the forums[USER=21149]@Daibell[/USER] is listed as LADA on their profile, which is a subset of T1.  It is expected that T1s eventually produce no (or almost no) insulin because an autoimmune reaction destroys all their insulin producing cells. As such, they are expected to eventually move to insulin.You are listed as T2, and though low insulin production can be due to a LADA misdiagnosed as T2 , I don't think that is necessarily the case at all, specially not after 30 years.As a T1 insulin user for 54 years I'm pretty happy with the stuff, but there is a lot to be said for avoiding insulin if you don't really need it.  And there seem to be a lot of treatments available for T2s, even those with lowish  insulin production, before insulin is needed. But I freely admit that as a T1 I'm not the right person to discuss medication for T2s. And I believe [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] is familiar with the class of drugs that delaglutide (aka trulicity) is a member of, though I have no idea what her insulin production is like.</blockquote>
