[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2034906, member: 21149"] Hi. It sounds like you may fit into the LADA category which is T1 but may have a long honeymoon period (mine has lasted 10 years or more and continues). Yours appears to be different in that your pancreas might be recovering which is quite unusual whereas mine continues to degrade. Don't worry about needing to reduce your insulin as you just need to match it to your needs and perhaps your Basal is still too high resulting in hypos. Your GP can do two tests (there may be others). GAD tests for antibodies but isn't that reliable when it gives a negative result and as NICE says it often gives a negative as time goes on after diagnosis. The c-peptide test could be useful as it measures whether your insulin production is high or low and that might guide you into where you are on the diabetes spectrum? Obviously your GP may be able to find out more about your specific condition. [/QUOTE]
