Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this Type 1.5 diabetes thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first month are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪
Want to share my personal experience related to Type 1.5 diabetes (LADA) and since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 252 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 18 months later: I am down 42 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Type 1.5 diabetes aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.
