[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2064935, member: 21149"] Hi. You need to ask for a C-peptide test. This will show your beta cell's insulin production level. T2s will typically have a high result as the beta cells will be fine but insulin resistance prevents that insulin being used. T1s will have a low result due to failing beta cells. It appears this test could usefully be used more frequently by health professionals but due to cost or ignorance they may guess. I don't know anything about beta cells recovering but knowing the start point helps. [/QUOTE]
