[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 255075"] Hi.... I just noticed you say you've had type 2 for 10 years. Have you had diagnostic tests done recently to test the state of your pancreas? If not... insist on getting both the GAD and C-peptide tests done to check if you have any anti-bodies and just how much insulin you're actually producing yourself.
