[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2278624, member: 525950"] The C-peptide test is not conclusive. It shows how much insulin you are producing based off the assumption that T1s produce little to no insulin while T2s produce significant amounts of insulin. However this is not always the case, some T1s are actually what’s known as LADA which a slower form of T1 where your beta cells are destroyed much slower than what it would be in a child. Your body might have reduced its insulin production since your last C peptide however there’s no point asking them to redo it because most times they refuse. The C peptide test is taking ages for me, 2 months and still waiting. It’s impossible to go carb-free, you still need fruits and vegetables but low carb is generally advisable for people with diabetes based off the experience of many people on this app. What are your blood sugars like? You think they’re high but they might not be that high. For example I was a 19.4 mmol/L when first diagnosed (no food for 12 hours) [/QUOTE]
