[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1217381, member: 21149"] I completely agree. The current T1 and T2 definitions are just plain silly. Any differentiation should be based on the body's insulin production as the treatments then differ i.e. they are effectively different medical conditions. The c-peptide test can show this. If you have low natural insulin to need insulin injections then you are T1 - end of. Any sub-definition such as LADA or a T2 mis-diagnosis are merely distractions. I use the term Late onset T1 to indicate that I'm not a T2 with insulin resistance. Even T2s who have pancreatic damage thru long-term high blood sugar may have low natural insulin and hence are effectively now T1 as insulin is needed; how they got there is not relevant to the treatment now needed.
