I'm guessing I'm not the only one with diabetes who's not still puzzling.<BR/><BR/>Amalas: I meant no harm, and my posting was something I would have done anyway. Your comments just made me do a little more thinking about it a little more quickly. We exist in peace--and thank you for your welcome.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184157905530126284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902332153414178420.post-53988793762340341652008-04-10T18:56:00.000-05:002008-04-10T18:56:00.000-05:00I'll agree with Jonah and say that Type 1 doesn't ...I'll agree with Jonah and say that Type 1 doesn't have to be diagnosed in childhood. I was 23.<BR/><BR/>I am also often frustrated by the lack of knowledge about types of diabetes...

If you can control your Type 1 with only Lantus and have numbers from 80-120, we want to know how! Enlighten us!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, welcome to the D-blogosphere.

If you had ICA antibodies, or were in DKA at diagnosis and afterwards had a cpeptide of udner 2, that's a really strong indication that you're looking at type 1.<BR/>Type 1.5 isn't typical type 1 just later- it's also a slower onset, not requiring insulin until months to years after diagnosis.Jonahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961973384914389626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902332153414178420.post-47571570268907401242008-04-09T23:15:00.000-05:002008-04-09T23:15:00.000-05:00As much as I hate to give you another label, but h...As much as I hate to give you another label, but have you heard of <A HREF="http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/14047009.php" REL="nofollow">MODY, Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young</A>?<BR/><BR/>There are <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maturity_onset_diabetes_of_the_young" REL="nofollow">quite a few different kinds of MODY</A> and one may match what you've been going through. <BR/><BR/>As I understand it, it's a different thing again from <A HREF="http://www.diabetesnet.com/diabetes_types/diabetes_type_15.php" REL="nofollow">Type 1.5 / LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults)</A> (<A HREF="http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/18382053.php" REL="nofollow">More on LADA at Jenny's site</A>)Laura Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579036430694070624noreply@blogger.com
