Hi Everyone,
After being diagnosed for the past 14 years as type 2, I had a lengthy spell in hospital with DKA brought on by sepsis. The endocrinologist treating me at the hospital felt I was more type 1 than type 2 based on how my body was responding to treatment. He has been treating me as type 1 for the last 5 months when I asked for a c pep test. I just got the results back and they indicate 1.66 ng/ml, this was based on 12 hours fasting and 12 hours without insulin (basal or bolas). If i'm reading this correctly the results seems to be in the normal range but I don't know what this means for me with regards to being a diabetic (type 1 or type 2?) and what it means in terms of treatment...Can anyone help me to understand the numbers and what it might indicate/mean to me.
Thanks
Kind Regards
Duncan
