[QUOTE="Hunya, post: 403536, member: 76353"] [b]Re: What does a GAD antibody do once it has destroyed insuli[/b] Thank you! I was diagnosed type 1 11 months ago and have been taking insulin until last week, when I found my requirement for levemir (basal insulin, as you say) went down to 3 units, and I still wanted to cycle, so I have cut insulin altogether for three days. This morning my readings were 5.7 @5.41am, 6.2 @7.04, 6 @ 9.22, 5.3 @12.07 and 6.1 @ 15.50, so I am optimistic. Eleven months of torture may have been enough. It is definitely type 1, though, after 3 years of conditioning by Diabetes UK (the official body, not this one) into a delusion it was type 2. Basically a GAD antibody test scored me over 2000 on a scale of 0-25, so there are a lot of insulin-destroying enemies sabotaging my energy system. Now I need to understand what a GAD antibody wants from me. Logically, if, as I am told, insulin production fades out altogether, the GAD antibodies would have nothing left to do once they had destroyed all my insulin-producing cells. Would they then die or disperse, or just lurk for other possibilities? That is what I need to know in order to negotiate a ceasefire. Body Politic Mercury, Hercules, percolating fusion through earth and supernatural power. Winged courier, carrying dispatches direct from the head of omniscience to the heart of omnipotence – the hand omniitinerant delivering words, humble vibrations borne of the wind. Insulin, harbinger of energy communicates between vital organs of substance and worldly interaction vies with pancreatic antibodies which would destroy him at source. Stress may shoot the messenger. A quiver full of stress aims at the jugular. No winged sandal. 29.11.2012 © Hunya [/QUOTE]
