Hello,
Very frankly speaking one has to take injectable insulin throughout his life if he is suffering from type 1.5 diabetes also called as LADA.
Your goal should be to keep your fasting levels below 100 and PP level below 150.
It is very important to control your blood sugar leaks immaculately so as o avoid future macro as well as microvascular omplications.
Observe proper dietary control and do regular aerobic exercises for 45 minutes a day.
Thanks
