[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1627580, member: 32394"] I don't know if "we" are sure, but I am. Cpeptide is accurate and valid even if you are taking insulin. But, a honeymooning (i.e. newly diagnosed) type 1 may have a pretty normal cpeptide level, because the honeymoon could mean they retain normal insulin production for a while. If you and/or his grandparents don't have diabetes that would rule MODY out. There aren't "so many". There's type 1, type 1.5 or LADA (which are both type 1). There's type 2, which does not get diagnosed in teenagers unless they are obese. There's type 3c, which is caused by chronic pancreatitis or Whipple procedure. And there's MODY, which is genetic diabetes. Everything about your sons diagnosis says type 1. There is no reason to question his type of diabetes. If there is no reason to question his type then there is no reason to to cpeptide, antibody or genetic testing. Should your son have problems with his insulin regiem and hypos then there may be a reason to investigate with these tests. [/QUOTE]
