[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1726116, member: 32394"] [USER=465086]@benhippers661[/USER] about 25% of type1s are antibody negative. Being antibody negative doesn't mean you aren't type 1. It means you have idiopathic type 1 i.e. Your immune system has killed/is killing off your insulin producing beta cells we just haven't found the antibodies that are doing that in your system, yet. You should ask for a cpeptide test to see what your insulin production is looking like. For a honeymooning type 1 this would be normal or low. For a type 2 it's normal to see hyperinsulimia. But some type 2 diabetics have exhausted their beta cells and a type 2 diabetic with worn out beta cells could have low cpeptide. What were your symptoms on diagnosis? Did you loose weight pre-diagnosis? What's your BMI? You're 15 and it would be very unusual for type 2 to be diagnosed in someone so young unless they are morbidly obese. How are you managing on insulin? Are you having a lot of hypos on your 45u of lantus and your 1:3 I:C ratio? What does your total daily dose of insulin look like? [/QUOTE]
