[QUOTE="ert, post: 2437965, member: 504712"] I'm not sure the details of your diagnosis but the post by [USER=93162]@lcarter[/USER] is correct in that type 1 (or LADA) is diagnosed within 5 years where the patient will require insulin to manage their blood sugars due to not producing enough insulin (low c-peptide below the normal range. This rapid deterioration is due to an autoimmune or virus attack etc). Here is the link of the c-peptide and time cut-offs: [URL]https://www.exeterlaboratory.com/test/c-peptide-plasma/[/URL] They quote the c-peptide here as antibodies that can exist due to other autoimmune conditions or exist in the general population without causing diabetes. Viruses can also cause beta-cell destruction which will show up on a c-peptide test and the patient will not have antibodies. [/QUOTE]
