[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1627541, member: 32394"] 1) it's very unusual for children to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes unless they are morbidly obese. If your son is a normal body weigh 15 year old, he doesn't have type 2. 2) you son wasn't "just thirsty". His hba1c was 97, that's an average blood sugar over the last three months of 14.9, or three time what is normal. 3) your son had ketones on diagnosis. It is really very unusual for type 2 diabetic because ketone are caused by a lack of insulin and type 2 diabetics have too much insulin. 4) a cpeptide test doesn't test for insulin. It tests for cpeptide which I waste product of endogenous insulin production. Being on insulin has no impact on the accuracy or validity of a cpeptide test. If you have concerns about insulin dosages you should get in touch with your DSN for advice. There is no "too much" insulin unless the dose is causing hypos. [/QUOTE]
