[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2058502, member: 372207"] Young, healthy weight, active, low C-pept + high bg all sounds like T1, although not proof. The only thing suggesting it might be something else is that they haven't found antibodies. Which isn't proof at all, as the right antibodies aren't always found. I fully agree with [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] , ask for a second opinion. And as you make very little insulin, as proven by your low C-pept with high bg, I'd expect your diabetes to behave like T1, whatever the cause. I'm a bit of the same, although older, overweight and lazy but my HCP is happy to fully treat me as a T1, even if we're not completely sure what type I have. Suits me fine too. I hope you'll get your answers, but I think the most important part is managing your bg, whatever is needed for that. As far as I understand, those T2's having 'reversed' their diabetes have done so through eating low carb. There's no reason to eat a lot of carbs as a T1 either (unless when having a hypo), as long as you're confident to adjust your insulin doses. If you learn to adjust dose to food, you can simply choose how many carbs you eat and adjust the dose. Many people on abasaglar/Lantus split their doses for this reason. You could also ask about Tresiba, which works longer so once a day is enough. Good luck and a big hug! [/QUOTE]
