    If you had to guess the type, which would it be?

    Hi all, I have posted 3 years ago. I have gone to an endo because they found sugar in my urine. My hba1c was normal, but I failed glucose tolerance test. The c-peptide, antibodies were all ok.

    This is Getting Frustrating ...

    I sincerely believe there is something wrong with my body. For the last 1.5 years, I have been chasing my blood glucose levels.
