Welcome to the forum @shruti.solanki. We are mainly people with diabetes on here. We aren't doctors and can't diagnose you.
From what I can understand of your figures it is possible that you might be Type 1 rather than Type 2. There are people on this forum who are LADA who might be able to help you more with advice.

Nobody here can diagnose!!! I can just give you some information.

The C peptide tells if you are making insulin and when it decreases it usually means you are making less insulin. When you are developing type 1 but especially as a LADA this process takes a little while to happen, so you make insulin in lesser amounts as time goes on, until you don't! In a LADA this can take years. We call that the honeymoon phase. A positive antibody test helps tell if you are type 1 or LADA.

I understand the wanting to know as it explains things usually.

There are some people that have the symptoms of LADA, meaning they still lose the ability to make insulin but they don’t test positive for the antibodies. They haven’t figured out the whys of that. But I know someone like that. She’s my new diabetic consultant and she now makes no insulin but has no antibodies. She classes herself as a LADA or type 1 because she makes no insulin or sometimes she will call herself a 1.5. But there is a group of people like that. I think you probably just need some time to figure out what path your body is taking.

@Resurgam is right, there are several variables and in essence you now just need to figure out what you need to do to treat it.
