[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2306300, member: 6467"] A while back I had a private IR test. It came back with the results that my insulin production was on the low side of normal, and that I had some level of IR. That is, I was still producing insulin but my BG was higher than it should be so there was some resistance to the insulin being effective. I am a "slim T2" for some values of slim. I am, with others, still wondering what is definitive for LADA. If it is an antibody test. At the moment I still think of myself as T2 because I still seem to be producing at least some insulin. If I am LADA (Latent Auto Immune Disease in Adults) I may win the race for the longest honeymoon period. :-) [12.5 years and counting.] <[URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_lada.html[/URL]> Says: "LADA is defined as initially non-insulin requiring diabetes diagnosed in people aged 30-50 years with antibodies to GAD – glutamic acid decarboxylase." So I was diagnosed at 57 (so outside the age range) and I have never had an antibody test. However age ranges are notoriously inaccurate. At the moment I still think I am T2 with a very weary pancreas. I would be very happy to be an over producer of insulin. Footnote: my blood test was in the morning, and I have extended Dawn Phenomenon. I do now wonder what the results would be if I had waited until the afternoon to have the blood test. [/QUOTE]
