[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 403389, member: 19121"] [b]Re: What does a GAD antibody do once it has destroyed insuli[/b] Hi Hunya I hate to dash your hopes here but diabetes cant be beaten if you are T1 you will need to take insulin for the rest of your life or you will die, sorry to be blunt but its that simple. The reason you are at present able to stop taking your insulin is something called the honeymoon period which T1's get after diagnosis when they start insulin treatment it gives the pancreas a boost which sets it off producing more insulin, this however does not last and normally within a year your pancreas will have stopped producing insulin. Search this site or the web for information on the "Honeymoon period" and you will find a lot of information on it. In the mean time please see your doctor and dont stop your insulin treatment that could be dangerous, you will almost certainly have to reduce it for a while but your doctor or Endo will be the best person to advise you on that. Good luck and welcome to the forum :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
