[QUOTE="erin40, post: 2353813, member: 533887"] Thanks, this is what I think is happening, my insulin level is low but my low carb diet is compensating for it without giving me high blood sugar. Thanks for the suggestion about ketones. It looks like this may be the only way I have right now of getting any info (short of doing a glucose test). -- I've done GAD, insulin level, c peptide, islet cell autoantibodies and fasting morning glucose and a1c. So I may get a ketone meter. As for the GAD and false negatives, ouch - that's not good news. My endo did mention that the test sometimes shows up as positive later on. If I have an autoimmune issue, it doesn't currently seem to be that bad, as if anything my problem seems to be getting a bit better. But it's something to keep an eye on, for sure. Cheers, thanks a lot for your help! [/QUOTE]
