Hi all,
Wondering if anyone on the board has experience of (what I understand) is a sub type of type 1 diabetes. I was diagnosed T1 in March this year, and thought I was going through a honeymoon period given the relatively low basal requirement and only bolusing at breakfast (to cover while the bolus comes in to effect).
My recent catch up with the clinic noted my C-peptide was very low (0.6), which I was told is essentially no insulin being produced in the body. So no honeymoon period seemingly, and autoantibody negative (although I also read this may happen after a period of time after diagnosis as doesn't mean I'm not type 1).
The clinic haven't raised any eyebrows, but I can't find much info or people reporting a very low (I think) basal (3 units), which covers a relatively steady amount of carbs through the day, even large meals up to 90g of carbs, with a steady amount of activity without doing loads of exercise.
Anyone out there with a similar experience?
