We have a handful to Type 1's and LADA members in our group.

If you have ever been "off insulin" it is almost impossible that you are Type 1 which is an auto-immune disorder (confirmed by the presence of 2 or more anti-bodies) that "totally destroys" the ability to produce insulin - you would die without insulin however it's not "impossible" that you had/have Type 2 and later developed Type 1.

But that would be super rare. Type 1 usually present at age 13/14 (most often), somewhere in ages 6 to 8 (second most common) with very few cases ever confirmed in those later than their teens.

It is possible that you have LADA which is a "latent auto-immune diabetes in adults" which initially presents as Type 2 and can be treated as such until insulin is needed. This is "commonly" diagnosed in those in their 30's but does present at any age.

LADA is diagnosed by a "type 1 test" that only shows the presence of a "single" anti-body (any one of the few).

At the very least I would seek clarification from the Endo as to whether it's LADA or Type 1 so that if you ever change Doctors at least they know "exactly what you have".

I have also had this problem I just concentrate now on what I can do to help myself reduce my sugars

It was a typo. I meant to say Type 2 patients.

I don't believe this group is strictly for Type 1 patients. I think it is an excellent question.
It will my endeavor to find out, to find out.

Thank you...I appreciate your advice...
