[QUOTE="justadad, post: 1614496, member: 373519"] Hi all, I was searching for the term 'autoimmune' and the engine brought me this thread. Rather than creating a new one, I'll ask here, and hopefully get some answers, hoping in particular to hear from [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER], [USER=32394]@catapillar[/USER] and [USER=240838]@Kristin251[/USER]. My son was diagnosed with T1D this January. He's been in honeymoon since diagnosis, taking as much as 4-5 units of insulin a day. His HBA1C came down from 12% at diagnosis to 5.6 this summer and 5.8 a month ago. Soon after diagnosis we did an antibody test that showed no antibodies. Our endo was enthusiastic at first and ordered genetic tests be done (for the entire family), but no results yet. I am worried that the results will never come back as the lab we sent serums to might not do the tests, which is a long story.... Anyway, my question is, since there are were no antibodies, c-peptide we did earlier was good, and he is still in his honeymoon (10 months now), could he not be type 1? Is there any other test to do to see if the t1d diagnosis was correct? I am worried that we are missing on something that we might regret later. We are due for an appointment in a month, but would like to have some pointers before then. Thanks [/QUOTE]
