I have been doing some research into the honeymoon period, there is a paper that pulls together the results of many studies. About 10% of the diabetic adult population are T1, more like 5% of newly diagnosed diabetics at my age. Within that 10%, around 50% have a honeymoon period, usually needing less insulin.Only 3% at most have what they call complete remission which is no insulin at all, so that would be 3% of 10% or 0.3% (max) of adult diabetics, or more like 0.15% at my age. Put another way, 99.85% of diabetics don't have T1 with a period of complete remission. Seems odd statistically.  I can't find anything definitive as to whether you can have GAD antibodies and T2, seems to be a lot of disagreement.</blockquote>
