He started off the conversation with your case is a mystery and unique. I asked him to explain what he meant by that.He said "DKA is rare in T2 and you're overweight with a bmi of 38, your family history is in T2, you did a test for antibodies yet it came back as negative, But all your symptoms are all classic T1 and it's got us baffled". So they don't know what type I am because I'm displaying all the characteristics of both types.So he suggested a c-peptide test which is what most of you said I'd need, but he was saying only after 3 years, I said can't we do one now, and he agreed it would be nice to have a baseline.So i'm stuck in limbo, could be LADA or T2. I'm stressing out because I thought I was on the way to a full recovery but there's a 50/50 chance I will be injecting forever.</blockquote>
