[QUOTE="Sanober, post: 233449, member: 33171"] Hi (again) :) They'll have put you on insulin regardless of type because of the extremely high sugar levels you had, the ketones can also be serious. However, if they ran a bunch of tests and concluded T1 then you'll have been tested for C-peptide and anti-bodies test, perhaps anti-GAD? As these two help to determine clear cut diagnosis for adult onset of T1. I am going to be on insulin as of the 12th Dec, I too was diagnosed, got my letter on Thurs because the ant-GAD showed antibodies. Thankfully I wasn't at your sugar levels when I got my diagnosis (although my morning fast today was 19.1....so will need to keep a close eye on this). Hope you're feeling better now you're on insulin. Good luck and keep in touch. :) [/QUOTE]
