A member asked:
How many years could i take insulin without developing any insulin antibodies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not predictable: It really doesn't matter for most people because the Insulin antibodies do not have an effect on control of the blood sugar. There are unusual cases where it does interfere with control and for the majority it doesn't matter.
