I'm not 1.5, but along with a low C-pep, a 1.5 would most likely be postive for GAD antibodies, I think. I realize there seems to be some fuzziness on the matter, but the general rule for division between the 1/1.5 set and type 2 set is the GAD antibodies which are present due to the autoimmune attack on the beta cells.
