With a 60 result on your GAD65 antibody test you are definitely a T1 LADA! I would suggest you go directly to insulin and forego all the orals. Using insulin actually does keep your own beta cells going longer.

Doctors seem to be needle-phobic and assume that all their patients are, too. They tried to put me on Avandia (before the big flap in the news over it causing congestive heart failure) and I refused. I, for one am extremely pill-phobic and had to fight to be prescribed an MDI (Multiple Daily Injection) regimen of basal and bolus insulins. Control became immediately easier and much, much better.
