I'd get a c-peptide test which will show up how much insulin he is producing. T2s are generally high, while T1/LADAs will be low eventually zero. Of course there are a few folk on here who never get a definite diagnosis, and it doesn't necessarily matter if the treatment they get maintains their blood sugars.  But if you know he's definitely T2 then you have low carb as an option to reduce or possibly eliminate the meds, while if T1 then he's going to need insulin eventually whatever you do.  And then there's MODY, which is rare and genetic and I don't understand at all....</p></blockquote><p></p>
