[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2281328, member: 21149"] Hi. Did you also have a C-Peptide test as well as GAD? You can have a negative GAD as I did but still be T1. Viruses and other antibodies can result in T1. A C-Peptide will measure your actual insulin output and not try to find the cause of your problem (GAD etc) thru a narrow test. Why do the medics want you to gain weight? Is it to match the fact that they are overweight as many are! If you are T1 which is very likely you will be burning body fat. You need to increase fats and proteins whilst keeping the carbs down. Ask to be started on insulin as it appears the Gliclazide isn't working - I had the same problem. Do ask for that C-Peptide if you haven't had it or ask for a further one as you may be in the honeymoon period. [/QUOTE]
