[QUOTE="gallopingmajor, post: 340590, member: 49773"] Just want to have a little rant. I’m still new to diabetes, but already I am so pee’d off with my care. I have had 3 hospital appointments and when I ask them to clarify what type I am they just make guesses. They say things like ‘well, you’re not overweight so you must be type 1’ or ‘you’re under 40 so it can’t be type 2’. Not very helpful or accurate if you ask me! I am on insulin twice a day, yet my diabetes nurse has said my pancreas is not producing any insulin. Surely I should be on insulin with each meal if that was the case? Last week I asked her about getting a c-peptide test done and she said that the auto immune test had come back negative so that means I am probably type 1, which contradicts everything that I have read so far. My sugars have been ok and even after over eating a lot over Xmas my HBa1c came back at 41. I can’t afford to pay for private healthcare, so what do I do now? :crazy: [/QUOTE]
