Like your husband I have a friend who was diagnosed with T1 in his late 30's

and from the onset used insulin for control. I agree that the GAD65 test is

definitive and again like your husband, my friend is also producing some

insulin although LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults) applies.

Diabetes is not a simple disease, I wish it were. I'm glad that your

husband is feeling better on his new regime.

Take care. Barry UK
