[QUOTE="finsit, post: 2481639, member: 536821"] I have a quick question about someone in the family who was diagnosed with diabetes. Here is the data and i am trying to make sense of it. Male, 28 years age A1c in Sept 2021: 13.3% After following low-carb and no meds, his stats are: a1c in January 2022: 6.6% fasting insulin: 4.5 (same time fasting BG was 120 mg) post prandial c-peptide: 5.5 ng/ml It seems he doesn't have insulin resistance. it also seems he is producing good amount of insulin from postprandial c-peptide. So my question is, is he still a type-1 or its type-2 and should he be using insulin or treatment instead? What's your opinion? There is a family history of diabetes T2, he has no other illnesses and had been operated in 2015 for hernia. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
