Diabetes Information

Loretta,
Ahhhhh, the developments and tests they have come up with since the *olden
days.* If you are producing some natural c-peptide then you are a T-2
diabetic. I believe the cutoff is 4? Connie or someone should know more
about this. But if there is none, you are a T-1. It is the deciding factor.
T-2s do not show ketones. Since you did, I’m suspecting a possibility that
you are out of a honeymoon stage of naturally-produced insulin and are a
possible T-1. Connie gets a lot of mail and sometimes skims through. I
cc:’d her this message so it will catch her eye and possibly respond. She
was dx’d T-2 until showed large ketones and insisted on further testing. She
is now a T-1.
