[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2182537, member: 21149"] Hi. It's usually better to start insulin early if you are suspected of being T1. I was refused it for too long and regret that. If tablets don't help control then insulin is needed. Check that the clinic is also doing a c-peptide test to check your insulin level. The GAD antibody test can sometime prove negative, as mine did, even when T1 is in the wings as more than antibodies can cause beta cell destruction. If GAD shows positive then you are T1. [/QUOTE]
