[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2168241, member: 372207"] The C-peptide test will tell you if you have an absolute shortage of insulin, regardless of positive or negative GAD test. I think that's the most important part. My history is a bit different, as I started insulin under my GP care very soon after diagnosis, and had been on a basal/bolus regime with very good results for 2 years before even asking for a test and a switch to hospital care by a specialist. So the test didn't have an impact on my treatment. Even if they had decided I wasn't T1, anybody would have had a hard time takin my insulin away from me, as it obviously works very well for me. I have been on gliclazide for a short time, and in combination with lowering my carbs it never gave me a number below 10 so I practically begged for insulin after a month [/QUOTE]
