[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1220846, member: 211362"] Yeh my sugar level only really jumped by about 3-4 mmol higher than usual when I had insulin deficiency. But then at the time I was very strict with diet and exercise... was doing 2 hours every day. I got real sick and had to stop. But I think without all the exercise and being tight with my diet I may have been a lot higher. I don't know exactly what my c-peptide result was in numbers but my endo said I hardly produce insulin so I'm assuming it was a low number... all I saw was it was red which I know isn't good. Also remember reading somewhere that an average of 1 in 3 T1's still produce some of their own insulin... especially if they were diagnosed as adults. So not all T1's have absolutely no insulin whatsoever being produced. My endo warned me as a T2 I can also have absolutely no insulin being produced in future... he said he sees that all the time in people who have been T2 for a while. I'm already at the deficient stage so I guess that makes sense. I'd imagine LADA is similar in that they still produce some insulin and then they may not in future. But yeh your sugar may be real high if you have no insulin at all being produced for sure. So to say T1's would have sky high sugar would not necessarily be true, I agree. [/QUOTE]
