| Tony, when I was first dx'd w/diabetes, they thought I was a T2 (age 16, 90 lbs, no family history and all) b/c at the time my c-peptide wasn't low and I had no anti-GAD antibodies. Now, 5 years later, I have no insulin production and am a true T1. It took me 3.5 years to get to that point after diagnosis. It's possible that you may be in the same boat as I was. I just want to warn you to be careful about the insulin. I went off of it for a year (thinking I was gonna be ok...I was in denial) and got very sick, had an A1C of 15.9 at the end of it in DKA b/c my islet cells had slowly died off. You are probably in a long honeymoon stage like I was...enjoy it while it lasts! (but be careful).
