[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2380307, member: 420515"] Ahhh, having read the references that people have so helpfully dug up, it appears this is part of yet another classification scheme. A(beta) giving autoimmune and insulin production +/- respectively. I'd be interested to see if this is fixed at presentation, or can change over time. (I, for example, would have gone from A+(beta)- to A-(beta)+ ) If you can read the external references given and understand them, I'd say you've got all the knowledge you need. The next stage is can you calmly and logically explain to a doctor in an A&E department why his diagnosis is wrong, possibly while throwing up on him My step-grandfather was one of the first adopters of insulin in his city. Mid-teens when diagnosed, just old enough to learn how to boil his glass syringes and perform the once a week chemical experiment testing for spill of glucose into urine. Unsurprisingly, for the first years his control was pretty much non-existent. Blood glucose test kits came when he was beginning to lose feeling in his hands and feet, and this made him a very frequent tester. The feeling came back after about three months. He ended up with a wife who was very strict about what he could eat, nothing was absolutely forbidden, but some portions were really small. He believed keeping his blood glucose down was the right way to treat his diabetes, and it appeared to work. (It's amazing to think that even ten years earlier the diagnosis would have been its diabetes, that's terminal, so sorry.) [/QUOTE]
