[QUOTE="ert, post: 2518446, member: 504712"] If you have type 1 your c-peptide will drop off exponentially, and you will require insulin. Antibodies exist in the general population of people without diabetes, so your diagnosis needs to be tied to your c-peptide levels which is why they want to test you. Diabetes, no matter the type can feel overwhelming especially in the beginning. Keep having routine tests if they are offering them to you and keep ask for support from your diabetes team. A fasting c-peptide can be inconclusive in so much if you are not eating then your body is not likely to be producing much insulin. I had a stimulated c-peptide test where I had to drink a sugary drink and my result was a trace level insulin response and my c-peptide measured below 0.2 nmol/l which was how I was diagnosed as type 1.
