[QUOTE="Sobeit, post: 1168078, member: 203670"] My insulin requirement has changed and I take a lot more insulin now then I did when I first began using insulin My ratio now is 1 unit/ 6 carbs when at first it was 1unit /17 carbs and I'm also taking basal insulin now of 10 units in the morning and 10 in the evening. Does that mean if I was to get another GAD antibody test that antibodies would show up now? I would just (sorry to repeat myself )love definitive proof :-( My doctor recommended me to do a local course but it was for type 2's. I was very happy to attend and met some nice people but the leader of the course basically told me not to come back ,in a nice way of course! it was nice to meet with people for support because in my opinion we're all In it together regardless of type 1 or type 2 .She said it would be confusing for me and I think she meant for others also from me being there( but never said that) It[SIZE=16px]s just frustrating for me because I don't know which group I fit into I'm never told by any medical professionals that yes me that you're type 1 (or LADA but they dont really say that here in Ireland it seems)100-percent ! My husband doesn't know why this bothers me at all but I can't help this it does I would just like a test to prove and to be told" yes there you go type one proof" and I would feel more contented and less in limbo so does anybody know if I was to get another GAD antibody test now would antibodies show up? thanks in advance and sorry for harping on about this same issue still...x[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
