[QUOTE="smidge, post: 710790, member: 29301"] Hi Acacia! Well, now you know - basically a positive GAD test almost always results in a re-diagnosis of Type 1/1.5 (LADA). It really is shocking the way we LADAs are treated. It saddens me that more than 5 years after I was made very ill by a misdiagnosis of Type 2, it is still happening. I know £225 is a lot of money to us as individuals, but it is a drop in the ocean for the NHS and I think it is criminal that these tests are not performed routinely. I finally got to see a consultant after threatening to sue the surgery that had misdiagnosed me. Unfortunately you might have to threaten them to get the care and treatment your mum needs. Good luck Smidge [/QUOTE]
