[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2180720, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes, the argument about avoiding tablets such as Gliclazide when LADA is that it stimulates the beta cells and some feel it can burn them out; the evidence varies. I was on full dose for several years and wonder what harm if any it did. I would always recommend anyone to press for early insulin if LADA is suspected or obvious. You can just start with a low dose of Basal insulin adding Bolus later. You can keep the dose low enough to avoid hypos although it does involve several tests each day and 4 to 5 injections. GPs vary radically on the subject. My GP said (wrongly) that insulin was a last resort whereas others do start it very early. Keeping the carbs way down will always help but there comes point when insulin will enable a better quality of life. [/QUOTE]
