[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1920136, member: 30007"] It's a fairly complex equation. In 30 years I've had 3 severe hypos. All are directly attributable to issues with Lantus. I'm not LADA. I've also never had a hypo, severe or otherwise, that has stopped me getting up and carrying on, or knocked me out for a day. This seems to be very much something that is a case of YDMV. What LADA does give you is a less aggressive autoimmune attack, where you are more likely to still produce your own insulin (even at low levels), which maintains signalling between the alpha and beta cells in relation to glucagon release, and therefore limit hypos. Are you likely to see more severe hypos down the line? Who knows, but while they get a lot of publicity, for some of us, severe hypos and bad subsequent consequences aren't something we recognise as an ongoing concern. [/QUOTE]
