[QUOTE="ert, post: 2289872, member: 504712"] I hope you get some answers from your medical team soon. Have they completed a c-peptide test, to see how much insulin your body is producing? If not, you could ask for one. A c-peptide, higher than the normal range would support you are type 2. If your insulin is abnormally low, it supports type 1 and they can also test for GAD and IA2 antibodies to see if you have had an autoimmune response if it's on the low side. It can take 2 to 4 weeks to get these results back. In the meantime, they're treating you with insulin as your blood sugars were so high. [/QUOTE]
