[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1480125, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes, a negative GAD doesn't prove your are not T1 but reduces the likelihood. A c-peptide test is more useful as it tells you whether you have low insulin or not i.e. T1 or T2. I think you may just have to wait and see i.e. follow a low-carb diet, have tablets if needed and see how your HBa1C goes over the next year or so. I assume your weight is quite low which points to T1. If you are overweight you will be T2. My honeymoon took around 6 years to finish with insulin. I was thin all the time but gradually went thru all the tablets with a rising HBA1c . The c-peptide I had done privately showed my insulin level to be quite low but negative GAD. [/QUOTE]
