[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2355418, member: 6467"] Possibly not 100% accurate. A while back I had a private fasting IR test which showed that I had insulin levels the low side of normal (I was in ketosis at the time) but elevated fasting BG which showed some IR. Potentially T1 if insulin is (well?) below the normal range (not just low normal). Standard T2 classification expects insulin to be (well) above normal with IR. Although as I've noted before definitions are tricky. If after 15-20 years my pancreas gives up entirely will I then be a mis-diagnosed T1? :) [/QUOTE]
