Hi all.
Bit of background. ..GD diagnosed 2011 straight onto insulin, then diagnosed Type 2 in 2012.
Tried oral meds, no effect and finally put on insulin (after a long fight with my docs) in feb.
Now today my doc has agreed to do an antibody test after refusing to refer me to the hospital clinic like I requested!
My question is : has anyone had their diagnosis changed purely from having the gad antibody test? What we're your results?
Also, after reading up, I read that the antibody test should be done before insulin therapy :/ does that mean it's pointless?
I just want to make sure I've got the right diagnosis
