Interesting. Let us know what the end result is. What an obnoxious way for her to treat you, I don't think you're obsessional I think you're doing what you can to stay healthy, and if you DO have type 1.5/LADA well it only makes sense that what you'…

you want testing for your C-peptide levels, which gives an idea of how much insulin secretion is going on - in autoimmune diabetes, they're usually low to moderate, in T2 they're generally high. You also want a diabetes mellitus autoantibody panel,…

Paul, check out and explore this website in detail it talks about all the various tests given. I find it helpful http://www.diabetesexplained.com/c-peptide-test.html

Would be helpful to have the GAD. C-peptide is the other test typically done.

All the exercise you're doing is great! Increasing muscle mass is one of the best things you can do to increase insulin sensitivity. Weight training really helps.

I will ask about the c-peptide test thanks, if iam negative for the anti-bodies test and it is conclusive evidence that negative means type2, then i may well be type2 .
