[QUOTE="CelalDari, post: 2272390"] The official line is that below the age of 40 it is likely to be type 1 and above 40 type 2. Remember that type 1s do not lose all pancreatic B-cell function suddenly, I was undiagnosed for nearly a year and only realised being tired, thirsty and urinating frequently in the last 3 months although I suppose my symptoms became worse gradually and my body learnt to ignore it. I was drinking water about 3-4 litres a day. The likelihood is that after treating you with insulin at the hospital they took some blood to assess how much insulin you are producing using a C-peptide test and they probably also did a GAD antibodies and pancreatic islet antibodies tests to establish whether you are type 1 or 2. You might want to read into type 1.5/ LADA as I am not very informed about it.
