    Thanks all for further feedback, appreciated. I will put this discussion on the back burner for now, and see what my Dr says next week..

    Thank you all for the feedback, its very insightful. Regarding the C-Peptide test, apparently there are 3 components to it, i was negative for the first 2, and positive for the final one, i think that was one of the excuses offered for the mis-interpretation of the test. I have been worried...

    FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor alarms

    They said my case has to be appraised by 2 seperate consultants ( this would obviously be done by phone in current situation ) and then goes before a "panel" . I said ok, start that process off, thus far have heard nothing further.. To be honest, how i am feeling currently, i am done with them...

    FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor alarms

    Wish i could get a Libre, been refused on grounds of cost. ( Been injecting since December 2019 - after being mis-diagnosed as T2 for over 3 years ) So, i made my feelings known a couple of weeks ago to them - i wasnt the most diplomatic, but its my health ... Funny, i havnt heard from them...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    DaveP - I drive for a living ( courier ) and the DVLA recommendation is to not go below 5, so my main focus while working is not to get too low rather than worry too much about straying higher.
