A 42-year-old woman arrives with an A1c of 10.3%, BMI of 32 and states she is ready to take better care of her type 1 diabetes. She uses a Freestyle Libre Sensor and takes 3-4 injections of insulin a day. Both her parents have type 2 diabetes and she says her diabetes was diagnosed after her third pregnancy. During this pregnancy, she had gestational diabetes and after delivery, her blood sugars never improved.
Given this history, which of the following lab tests would clarify the best diabetes treatment plan?
- A1c and OGTT
- Transglutaminase
- TSH and T4
- ICA, IAA, GAD
