[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 1033280, member: 94348"] i asked my teaching hospital consultant about this recently, specifically about 1.5, and as you say they only see type 1 or type 2. within the type 1 there are the slow onset, very slow onset type 1s and the fast onset. as far as i understand it, the older you are the more likely for type one to be slow onset. I was asking if i was really Type one, having read some of the threads here, and having had years of ill health and non diagnosis many years ago. On diagnosis i used 15 units TDD and now use 18-20 on average, but that can go up a lot or down quite a bit, even on 130-150 carbs, and little exercise due to other health conditions - if i have lower carbs i use less and if i have higher carbs i use a lot more and control is thrown out for ages, and if i gain even a kg extra weight the same happens - i am middle of normal BMI range. This makes control difficult and now much easier on the pump. But i do have autoimmune disease, C peptide moved from appreciable to very little indeed over 36 years ago, and i now have other autoimmune diseases, there never has been any suggestion i have anything called LADA or 1.5.
