Hi, thanks for response. It does very much play in my thoughts that it could still be type 1, despite the tests that have been done to date. I have checked back my records and do not appear to have had C Peptide test (not sure why,but I will ask this question too) so this is something I will...

Hi, thanks for your welcome and encouraging advice. This is really great to hear as I do get pretty disheartened when you think you have done good and reflects the opposite in your BS. I do prefer to do intensive workouts and when you enjoy something it’s much easier maintained.
