[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2411995, member: 525950"] Your C-peptide is quite good. I wouldn’t want to question a doctor’s professionalism but I think he/she was wrong to assume anything and diagnose you before doing a test. It’s good that you requested the C-peptide. As iterated by others, type 1s will progress onto insulin quite quickly, within weeks and months rather than years. A type 1 also has a higher HbA1c at diagnosis because of insulin deficiency. It is a bit of an enigma as to why your C-peptide is good yet you still went into DKA. Perhaps request another C-peptide (not sure if the doctor would agree to this though). At the end of the day it doesn’t change your treatment plan. If you need insulin, you need insulin. [/QUOTE]
