I was diagnosed after a multitude of tests (for everything!) by my GP after a long period of unexplained weight loss. Given my initial BG levels the GP ordered an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Based on the results I was referred to an endocrinologist who ran c peptide and GAD65 antibody tests three months after starting insulin. These confirmed T1. Note this was done while working in Singapore. With hindsight I suspect I was LADA for 2 years further, but overall my insulin requirements for basal haven't altered much (used Lantus, Levemir, Tresiba) in 15 years. My bolus insulin requirements have increased as I seem to have insulin resistance with higher carb amounts.</p></blockquote><p></p>
