[QUOTE="ert, post: 2411917, member: 504712"] Type 2. You've had diabetes for 14 years. Clinically, Type 1's will deteriorate onto insulin within 3 years (LADA 6 years) and have trace levels of c-peptide. Type 2's, if they have uncontrolled blood sugars out of the normal ranges, will require insulin a lot by 10 years as their beta cells fatigue due to insulin resistance. Your c-peptide is normal. Type 2's don't become Type 1's. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition. On diagnosis, I had a c-peptide of 0.17 ng/ml (normal 0.5 to 2.7). Less than 0.2 ng/ml (on diagnosis - not 14 years later) is type 1. [/QUOTE]
