[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2257458, member: 21149"] Hi. From what you say, T1/LADA is very likely. BTW T1 and LADA are the same thing in adulthood but when it occurs in adulthood it can sometimes be quite slow to progress and have what's know as the 'Honeymoon' period. Your GP should really have ordered a C-Peptide test as well as GAD. The GAD test assumes the presence of GAD antibodies but there are other rarer antibodies and viruses can damage beta cells. My two private tests for GAD and C-Peptide showed my GAD as negative but C-Peptide low'ish. My more recent C-Peptide test was much lower. I suspect my damage was a virus as I had a high white blood cell count around diagnosis. BTW I suspect you may need mo0re than 40mg of Gliclazide. I was on 320mg/day before insulin and that had no effect. [/QUOTE]
