HELP ME

Im going to translate this mess with google translate because im italian, sorry for any mistake.
I am a 15-year-old boy at the beginning of type 1 diabetes. Glycated haemoglobin on arrival at the emergency room of 18% in ketoacidosis. After 1 month visit for the first post-natal check-up, 7% glycated haemoglobin, only 2 insulin apidra at meals and 90% time in the preset value. So far you might think honeymoon, the point is that the autoantibodies of DM1 are negative results and I have to do a quarter, the ZNT8. My doctor named the possibility of the MODY. I wanted to ask if having the 3 negative antibodies but the positive ZNT8 I am still type 1 diabetic and if I can be the honeymoon really with negative antibodies (Anti-insulin Autoantibodies of 2.5). In addition I have been serious short-sighted for 7 years but I have returned to see very well (no need for glasses except for some moments when vision returns as before) and no one knew how to explain it and always my doctor said that if I arrive in October still with good eyesight to go to him. I would like to better understand the situation and what it means to have negative autoantibodies. Thank you all so much for the answer

Th absence of antibodies does not rule out T1 diabetes.

Many people find their eyesight changes when their blood sugars are running high, or changing fast. For most they notice they don't see so well, so yours isn't quite so usual. Over time, as your blood glucose goes to a healthier level your eyesight may revert to it's old state or something similar.

I agree that you can have late onset T1 without antibodies as viruses can cause damage to the pancreatic beta cells. A C-Peptide test can help measure how much insulin you are producing regardless of the cause.
