I think you should also start by assuming good faith and I don't see anything you have said that would cause me to doubt that.I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that normally you are told to fast and stop medication before the test.  If your c-peptide levels are low and your blood glucose levels are high, then this suggests you are Type 1. If your c-peptide levels are high and your blood glucose levels are high, then this implies you are Type 2. So what happens if your blood glucose levels are not high. In that case the test is inconclusive, so they try another way which is to try to force your blood glucose levels up, either by injecting you with Glucagon or by getting you to take a lot of carbs. Then they repeat the test.Sounds normal behaviour to me.</blockquote>
