Hey all,
So I was diagnosed last August as being diabetic. I was basically DKA on arrival. I'm 31, no family history and bmi of 20.
I've had tests for antibodies (GAD, IA2, ZnT8) and all have been negative.
I've also had a stimulated c-peptide (i.e. drink a can of coke, bring glucose levels to ~15 and then have a blood test). This showed detectable but low c-peptide (360 pmol).
In the letter from the consultant with the results, they said that my diagnosis remains unclear but i would be managed as a type 1.
In terms of medication im on insulin and use lyumjev for fast acting and getting really good results. I'm very much on top of my blood sugars and have a recent a1c of 5.0% (31mmol). I'm guessing that part of the reason i'm able to easily manage this is because I still have some insulin production. My a1c on diagnosis was 95 mmol.
Has anyone had a similar history and might be able to offer any further possible explanations and causes? My next appointment with the endo is 6 months away and im a bit confused as to what the future holds.
Thanks.
