Some T1's test negative for all currently known antibodies, antibody testing is very useful to rule in T1, not rule it out.Only a year into T1, it's completely normal to still produce a decent amount of insulin on your own, it's called the honeymoon period. I'm very surprised your consultant rediagnosed you as a T2 based on those results. Was this consultant an endocrinologist?All this happened 7 years ago. Chances are that a C-peptide taken now will tell a much clearer story, might be worth asking if you're in doubt.</blockquote>
