[QUOTE="searley, post: 2423496, member: 31377"] Searley deteriorated onto insulin straight away after diagnosis so the 9 years is misleading.[/QUOTE] I was on insulin straightaway due to an intolerance to other meds not due to requirement…. It was my choice to go insulin.. I even spoke on a t2 thread recently how if I could go back in time I would have stayed off insulin for as long as possible During the first 8 year I would come off insulin sometimes for several months at a time.. During the 8 years I had several cpeptide tests all declining slightly in value but within normal range. It’s only the last 18 months things declined quite fast.. would things have gone faster had I not been in insulin … probably In my case there is strong family history of T1 /LADA… so I was always aware of the risk If you are having issues but feel your doctor is not dealing with it right ask for a referral to a diabetic team/consultant discuss the concerns…. A cpeptide test will show how much insulin you are producing but will probably not be accurate due to the use of gliclazide [/QUOTE]
