[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2302510, member: 372717"] Welcome to the forums. Have they done antibody (GAD) tests and/or c-peptide tests? Normally T1s produce very little (eventually zero) insulin while T2s start by overproducing insulin, so the c-peptide should be a good indicator. Of course, there's nothing to stop you having insulin resistance (T2) and also have reducing quantities of insulin (T1), which could make the diagnosis complicated.... Anyway, try not to be too discouraged by periods of less than stellar control, the issue is your long term control, and that will be easier if they have a true diagnosis. Whichever type of diabetes you have, there will be (virtual) support on here to help you cope with it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
