[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2138210, member: 475037"] I just hate agreeing with [USER=496333]@Jim Lahey[/USER] lol, but he's right. Several things can occur. You can be a type 1 that becomes insulin resistant, which would add on a type 2 diagnosis. You could also have been a misdiagnosed type 1/LADA in the first place, that happens way too often. They labeled you a type 2 at the beginning and don't want to say they were wrong, that you were really a type 1/LADA. You could be a type 2 that had the gene to become a type 1 that has now started to develop. Some type 2's take insulin because they need extra because they are so insulin resistant. Also type 2's at some point can need to take insulin because they have been insulin resistant usually for a while. But a type 2 even at this point is producing some amount of insulin. They could just be labeling you a type 1 because of the insulin need, but not really a type 1? You'd be surprised at the misinformation still in the medical community. What you need is an antibody test and a c peptide test to know if you are a type 1. [/QUOTE]
