[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 340241, member: 12578"] With an HbA1c of 13%, your average glucose levels were about 18.1mmol/l. This is high , you also had DKA which suggests at least a relative lack of insulin. Personally, I'm positive that T1 and T2 both cover a variety of conditions and have varying amounts of insulin resistance and or deficiency and a variety of 'causes'. Officially there is T1a which is autoimmune and can be caused by a variety of antibodies, not just GAD but there is also, Type 1b which is idiopathic ie no known cause. If you need insulin supplementation/replacement from diagnosis and are susceptible to DKA, then according to present day definitions you have T1. There are conditions that aren't really covered by the normal 2 boxes. These include MODY, a genetic condition [url=http://www.diabetesgenes.org/]http://www.diabetesgenes.org/[/url] and ketosis prone T2 [url=http://www.uptodate.com/contents/syndromes-of-ketosis-prone-diabetes-mellitus]http://www.uptodate.com/contents/syndro ... s-mellitus[/url] (if you think this may be relevant google Michael Barker, Ketosis prone T2) Ultimately though, what matters is that you are on the right treatment; if you are insulin deficient that is insulin.
