Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 527103" data-source="post: 2669340">I don't disagree that T1 and T2 are different and require different treatment.However, given the comments above about the validity of GAD and c-peptide tests, "finding out" may just be a case of suck it and guess. My diagnosis of Type 1 was 20 years ago before GAD and c-Peptide were regularly used. It was considered unusual at that time for someone of my age (mid-30s) to get Type 1. However, my GP decided it had to be the case for me because I was "too slim and active" to have type 2. In other words, she guessed and got it right. Others were not so lucky and needed to push for the correct diagnosis after the "suck and see" type 2 guess was invalid. In this case the OP's partner needs to have the interest in their condition to push for a different guess from their doctor.</blockquote>
