[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1566610, member: 295621"] No, it's not typically done [USER=380756]@TheBigNewt[/USER]. C-peptide testing and GAD antibodies testing can be done on the NHS, but it's not a default approach in diagnoing T1D. Usually the diagnosis is based on the common symptoms associated with T1 - combined with things like age, weight and general state of health leading up to DX. What the doctor's do however, is start the newly diagnosed on small doses of insulin as to minimise the chance of experiencing bad hypos and to also bring BG levels down gradually. If insulin therapy is introduced gradually and systematically, then the likelihood of problems and issues are greatly reduced. [/QUOTE]
