The test results are confusing, but that is often the case
. The elevated blood sugars suggests insulin resistence, but the low-normal c-peptide is not consistent with this. And the negative antibody test result suggests that there is no autoimmune attack. But it doesn't preclude it. Apparently 20% of T1s don't test positive for the GAD antibodies, so this is still a possibility. You will know if this is the case soon enough - your blood sugars will rise. But there is no point in going on insulin unless and until this happens. For all we know, something else could be causing the slight elevation in your blood sugar.
