[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1019162, member: 30007"] Technically, unless you had a GAD test done which was positive and showed the presence of the autoimmune antibodies that destroy beta cells, then you are still type 2, all be it an insulin dependent Type 2. You may have progressed to insulin as a result of your beta cells dying due to exposure to too high blood glucose levels, which the C-Peptide test shows as a reduction in insulin output, but as long as the cause of your beta cells dying is not an autoimmune attack, you aren't a Type 1!
