Message: <blockquote data-quote="agwagw" data-source="post: 2548623" data-attributes="member: 415845">Hi,I became diabetic in 1994 - misdiagnosed as type 2 for some years, then LADA. I was also on type 2 drugs for about 10 years after starting on insulin. They became ineffective after a while - to be honest I am not convinced they ever helped at all. My pancreas would have been still producing some insulin. I am now on Tresiba (very good) and NovoRapid (actually rather slow). I think I still have some insulin production. My advice would be a low carb diet and exercise - even a brisk walk every day helps greatly. Be aware that exercise can suddenly cause blood glucose to drop much faster than injecting insulin, so always have glucose tabs handy.</blockquote>
