[QUOTE="Triceraptors, post: 1640006, member: 288166"] It seems that my endo is convinced that I have T1 and it was sudden onset. Normal fasting and HbA1c but failed OGTT. He already ordered Type 1 tests. I basically was sent on semi-urgent referral to an NHS endo by GP, which would have happened in January or February. However, I could not wait because losing weight severely and being afraid of eating carbs, skipping work was too much for me. I managed to get an appointment with private endo today and came back with mostly sad and anxious mood. Private health insurance in UK does not cover chronic health conditions like diabetes, I was told this by the representative. This leaves me at the mercy of NHS. However, having been diagnosed by a private, how can I get an NHS endo to give me instructions and supplies? I am afraid to die or get worse waiting for the appointment and people at work definitely seem to getting fed up with me being absent. I lost too much weight and even climbing stairs makes my heart race. Please provide some guidance to new lost soul ... [/QUOTE]
