[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2177113, member: 21149"] Hi. You need to understand that the NHS and DUK (not this website) remain behind the times with regard to diabetes types. We're getting there slowly. Many GPs have, like mine did, been trained to think that you can only have T1 if very young and that GAD needs to be positive. Neither of these are true. My newly trained Diabetes GP shouted me down when I said I was T1 and not T2 and just said I needed a normal balanced diet when I was failing on max dose Gliclazide and refused me insulin. I've now been on insulin for a good few years and my recent C-Peptide (private) test showed my own insulin still going down. Even though your insulin currently may be quite good it doesn't imply insulin resistance (unless you are overweight). It probably shows you are in the honeymoon period. I may be wrong of course and your GAD positive antibodies may never cause a problem but only time will tell. [/QUOTE]
