[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2345585, member: 21149"] Yes, the terms are misleading. Eevn your suggestion of 'adiabetes' wouldn't work as not all T1/LADA is caused by auto-immunity e.g. GAD etc. Viruses are also a cause and I believe, for various reason, that caused my LADA. I might suggest that focussing on insulin dependence might be helpful. I believe the C-Peptide test is far more relevant than checking for antibodies as it measures your actual insulin output. Yes, I know there are T2s on insulin. Some of these will be slim mis-diagnosed T1/LADA like me and some others will be those with high insulin resistance where insulin my not be the best medication. Not all will agree with my input but there you go as the current definitions aren't useful either. [/QUOTE]
