[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2220126, member: 475037"] If things don't make sense you could be a type 1. LADA/Type 1 is slow forming and easily misdiagnosed as type 2 at first. I was, even though I asked if I could be a type 1 because I had an uncle than died from it in the "old days". 40% of us type 1/LADA's are misdiagnosed as a type 2 because medications, weight loss, eating different can work at first. Commonly but not a given being skinny, low BMI and in shape with exercising and still having higher numbers is more a type 1 thing than a type 2 thing. Not a definite though. You should ask for an antibody test which if positive means you are a type 1. Although some type 1's rarely don't test positive but still don't make insulin. Also ask for a C-Peptide test which tells how much insulin you make. Low or low normal is a sign of type 1, high or high normal is a sign of type 2. [/QUOTE]
