[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2405511, member: 475037"] One thing to watch for, you could be a type 1. A Type 1/LADA is misdiagnosed as a Type 2 40% of the time. One of the reasons is production of insulin slowly slows down until it fully stops, so change of diet and medications will work at first because you still produce some insulin usually for years. The only way to end up knowing is an antibody test, if it's positive it's a sign of being a type 1. The other critical test is a c-peptide test. Low or low normal is a sign of type one because you aren't producing enough insulin, high or high normal is a sign of type 2 as you produce insulin, usually more because your body is trying to compensate because you are insulin resistant and not utilizing the insulin you have right. I'm not saying you are, just keep it in mind because sometimes when things don't make sense, you could be a type 1 instead. [/QUOTE]
