[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 624770, member: 102150"] That sounds pretty good. Certainly could have been worse. They are considering the C peptide test, and they support you on low carb. For a full diagnosis they need GAD as well as C peptide. But both are rarely done in the UK alas. The C peptide shows how much insulin is being produced still by your beta cells, the GAD shows the autoimmune activity against the beta cells. High C peptide and no GAD is typical of Type 2, pretty much diagnostic of it. Low/nil C peptide and high GAD is typical of T1. It does vary however depending on how much time has passed since the onset of the disease. Ie GAD will be low/nil and C peptide nil if all the beta cells died off decades earlier. [/QUOTE]
