Thanks Elaine. I am relieved tbh!! As for other elements of the test I imagine ill know more in October ... Nurse seems to think the consultant will give me more details. My mum was type 2, so there is a history, although she wasn't the same build as me. She was a 'typical type 2 shape' and...

Blimey... That was all sudden then. Glad you're all sorted now. I'd be surprised if I am lada. As my pancreas has been fairly stable for so many years. But. The specialist must have had enough doubt to investigate. So it's fine by me, really keen to find out what "type" I am now! Sent from...
