    Just caught covid

    Everyone is different. But, i was told because I was young i wouldn't need to worry even with T2 diabetes.

    What do the results of my c-peptide results mean?

    that hasn't been my experience - i saw my endo in 4 months ago and i am due to see him in January. surely the endo would have got those results or he may have requested them. and he may very well have checked those results but will tell you in February? i hope you do see the endo in February

    What do the results of my c-peptide results mean?

    i think your GP should refer you to a endocrinologist. from there you will get all the help you need to determine what type or if you even have diabetes. i wish you the very best.

    Type 2 Background Retinopathy

    I don't know what is so different because the NHS test gives you a letter telling you nothing other than leaving you with questions. Whereas the Optician eye test. The Dr actually explains everything to you. But i do have some pressure in my eyes which needs to be recheck in July.

    Type 2 Background Retinopathy

    That's the thing... i didn't have no stinging or irritation or blurred vision. I told the lady who was doing the test and she just smiled and carried on with the test.
