[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 265771, member: 12578"] Actually this fits in the pattern of many people when they develop LADA.(a subset of T1) Beta cell loss may occur in a series of fits and starts with several autoimmune attacks ultimately culminating in true insulin dependence. Sorry don't groan I'm going to put a graph here to make things clearer. :lol: That on/off pattern, undoubtedly happened to me. Extreme weight loss, all the symptoms, confirmed high glucose levels but my now very much lower weight meant I could for the most part control things with the diminished pancreatic function together with an appropriate diet and exercise. Then 3.5 years later, it all happened again ; bang crash sky high levels DKA, etc. (low c pep high anti GAD). There is also another condition called depending where you read it either ketosis prone T2 or a subset of T1b, In this case the person presents with DKA, needs insulin and the condition remits. In some people this remission only lasts for a while and the cycle starts again. Some people have said that the actress Haillie Berry who was known as a T1 and claimed to have weaned herself off insulin has this condition. As others said you could also have had T2 and are now controlling it well with diet Whatever type you have, whichever box your diagnosis falls into, whatever caused it has not gone away and unfortunately may return.
