[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2212715, member: 372717"] Some doctors believe all T1s are diagnosed when under 30 and just assume T2 in anyone older. Given your fast progression despite the extremely low carb I'd definitely want to rule out LADA (slow onset T1) as many many LADA folk are initially misdiagnosed as T2. So you need a c-peptide test, which will detect how much insulin you produce. Typically, an insulin resistant T2 produces a lot and a T1/LADA produces less and less as their insulin production wanes. The good news is that if lack of insulin is your issue then insulin injections will make you feel much much better. Also, T1s have much more freedom in their food choices, as they can inject for their carbs. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
