[QUOTE="Deleted member 391597, post: 1466598"] Hi everyone, The last time I met with my DSN I was told the GAD antibodies and c-peptide tests are not normally issued. I didn't realise this and thought I would just be able to have them done when I see my endo next month. My DSN did say I presented unusually as I had no symptoms and literally went in to DKA overnight following a sickbess bug but as far as she was concerned I was being treated as Type 1. I really want these tests just for my own peace of mind so that I never have to doubt my diagnosis. I also really want to know if I'm still making any insulin of my own and whether I can expect things to get worse if I am still making some at the moment. To be honest, I've found that I'm pretty much able to eat anything and stay in range at the moment. Not sure whether I'm just dosing correctly or if it's easier because I'm still making some insulin of my own too. Hope I haven't jinxed myself by typing that! Has anyone struggled to get these tests done? Is there an option to have them done privately if so? Thanks [/QUOTE]
