I have been checking some glucose levels, and her fasting, two hour after breakfast, and two hour after dinner are all within normal range, but, each day, her two hour post lunch blood sugars seem high.

When he was diagnosed two weeks ago, my three year old had an elevated A1c, ketones, and no GAD antibodies. Wouldn’t the antibodies be negative anyway since we don’t know when onset was? The doctor thinks he has MODY, not type 1.

In 2000, I was diagnosed with type 2. Now, since my second pregnancy, the doctor said I have type 1 based on my C-peptide results. I am very insulin resistant and get sick a lot. Is this common with type 2s who get pregnant? Do they stop producing insulin?
