[QUOTE="alaska, post: 403419, member: 14213"] [b]Re: What does a GAD antibody do once it has destroyed insuli[/b] Research has shown that people with type 1 have been measured as producing very low levels of insulin more than 40 years after developing type 1. My own understanding is that the body tries to keep producing new beta cells (the cells that produce insulin), but the antibodies in people with type 1 kill these off quicker than the body can produce them. Researchers have started to look at whether the body's production of beta cells could be sped up by the hormone betatrophin: [url]http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130425132620.htm[/url] Ed [/QUOTE]
