I suspect it means different things to different people - I take it to mean the period between diagnosis as T1/T1.5 and the time that your beta cells no longer produce any insulin at all. In "normal" T1 that could be anything from a few weeks to a few months, for T1.5 anything from a few months to many years.

Just had my first A1c since starting Lantus 4 months ago, was expecting a number around 5.8% based on my testing, but it came out at 6.5%. Starting on apidra now. So here goes with the whole carb-counting thing....
