Tested positive for antibodies, but still not a type 1?!

[Guest guest]

I don't understand this.. I had originally gone to the endo because I

didn't feel like my previous Dr (an internist) had been doing enough

to figure out what is wrong with me, but now I am more confused than

ever.

I had antibody tests done, and they came out positive, and EVERYTHING

I've read says that positive antibody tests means I have type 1, but

my Dr is leaving me on my current meds, and adding another, instead

of just putting me on insulin. She said she doesn't want to put me

on insulin until the oral meds stop working, but that doesn't make

any sense to me.

So now I'm not type 2, and not type 1 " yet " , I don't get it.. :-(
