[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 528960, member: 21149"] Hi. I feel the c-peptide test is a reasonable measure although not infallible. If low it implies you are not producing insulin and have depleted islet cells i.e you are T1'ish. If high you are swimming in insulin but insulin resistant i.e. a T2. My GAD was negative but my c-peptide proved I had very little insulin which told me I needed insulin. The problem with GAD is that the anti-bodies are not the only cause of islet cell failure.
