[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 972381, member: 12578"] Hi Carrie, I suspect that asking for any tests now would probably result in the answer that it wouldn't change your treatment so it isn't worth trying to find out (don't personally agree) You could have had a slow onset T1 (LADA) There are tests for antibodies (such as GAD) which do persist overtime in many people but not in all If they didn't find them then it wouldn't mean they weren't there once. You could have had MODY (especially if there is any family history) This ([U][B]trial[/B] [/U]version) calculates what the probability of that might be. [URL]http://www.diabetesgenes.org/content/mody-probability-calculator[/URL] It also links to an explanation about the Urine C-Peptide Creatinine Ratio test which I think is the test referred to in [USER=188243]@Celeriac[/USER] 's post. On the face of things it might help distinguish between a T1 and a T2 on insulin (and a MODY). The cost of that test is not expensive though I it would have to be requested by a doctor.[URL]http://beta.diabetesgenes.org/content/requesting-analysis-ucpcr[/URL] [/QUOTE]
