[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1401944, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. It sounds like Late onset T1 is possible. Gliclazide is often prescribed before going onto insulin as it helps the pancreas produce more insulin which would be lacking. When insulin becomes necessary then the Gliclazide becomes redundant. I've been down that route. There is an argument to start insulin earlier and then perhaps the Gliclazide isn't needed. I suspect you are being given the two tests for T1 i.e. GAD for anti-bodies and c-peptide to measure your insulin output. If you have been able to reduce the Gliclazide and presumable now have reasonable blood sugar it implies you either aren't T1 or are in the honeymoon period where the pancreas is fading but still produces some insulin. You may, of course, have another flavour of diabetes. [/QUOTE]
