I’m 28 weeks pregnant and I have been t1 since I was a late teen. So almost 15 years.

Every once in a while my doctors get a bug up their ass and assume I’m type 2. I have two antibodies and I usually have a 0 peptide.

I have gained an astronomical amount of weight since my thyroid diagnosis (hashimotos) and it’s BAD. This is my 4th t1d pregnancy. And my obgyn decided to test my c peptide without my knowledge and now is changing my diagnosis and saying I’m type 2, and pushing metformin. I am insulin dependent.

I’m irritated. I had edka last pregnancy and they said oh it can’t be dka because your BG isn’t high enough. It was 170, and all my labs came back positive for dka.

I had placental failure, low birth weight, and it was a wild ride.

This high risk clinic isn’t believing me that usually for me when I start getting a high c peptide it means my placenta is failing. I have developed high BP as well this pregnancy which is new. I’m not using as much insulin for heavy carb meals, and I’m trying to tell them I need to have this taken care of, and idk how, and they aren’t concerned!?!?!

Am I the only one who struggles?????

Also I’ve only gained 4 lbs this pregnancy and they are celebrating because I’m overweight and it’s better for baby…..who measures in the 20%

I’m worried I will have a still birth this time because of their lack of alarms

Ada is irritating as get out in s3. I liked her better in the background. She’s insufferable. And Agnes runs the home much better.

Hello! 31yo f, t1d for 15 years. I am currently pregnant with my 4th baby. 26 weeks.

They did my c peptide at my last appt because I am chubbier now and she said she thinks I’m type 2. I laughed it off because my c peptide always comes back 0. Like nada . My useless pancreas. And I get this a lot because I am fatter.

But my c peptide came back NORMAL!?!?! I am shook. Last c peptide I had done when I was pregnant with my 3rd baby and it was 0….another 4 years before that because my endo didn’t believe me, came back 0.

Has anyone heard of this? Going from type 1 to type 2?

We did the other tests, like the genetic markers and I have 1/4. But I’ve been insulin dependent for 15 years. I have been recently diagnosed with hashimotos during my last pregnancy. And it never recovered like they thought. So they didn’t testing. I have a slew other auto immune disorders. But could it be possible I have been t2d????? And had a c peptide of 0 for 15 years & now I don’t?
