[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1384174, member: 21149"] T1 is far more common than the medics realise. I was diagnosed with db at age 60 but told it was T2. Now 13 years later I know it's T1 (LADA/T1.5) and not T2 and have been on insulin for several years. I've always been slim and that is one clue to the T1 diagnosis due to the body burning fat to get energy as there is not enough natural insulin to use the carbs. A c-peptide test is one way of helping with the correct diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
