[QUOTE="Cobia, post: 1651994, member: 454444"] I actually had no idea what was happening before i was diagnosed local doc was on holidays... traveled an hour looking for a dr i hadnt seen for 30 years..... was admitted fairly quick 8 hrs in the icu full on DKA when your normally 70 kg and get to below 60 ther is a problem..... It took 6 months to get the antibody test positive for GAD and 1a2 antibodys no others were tested...admittence figures was fasting glucose 17 Keytones of 7. Even tho the hossi called me type 1 my DE same type 1 my doc had me penciled in as type 2... nuts hu. Since the best hba1c has been 6.1 % with insulin.. Point is when your past a certain age some docs maynot accept there maybe a antibody cause... if you can get a GP to do the test its better earlier you may or may not like the result. Found out later my local doc was monitoring the hba1c there was no indication of diabetes 2 years earlier... As for the OP.... if you can stay insulin free go for it as long as you can. I was an idiot waiting as long as i did....... [/QUOTE]
