    Possible misdiagnoses of type 2? LADA instead?

    That’s really interesting to know. Will the gp refer me if I ask or will I have to pay privately for it as I’m not sure the gp believes me

    Possible misdiagnoses of type 2? LADA instead?

    Wow okay, how long could it be until these show? I feel like every time I express my concerns of misdiagnosis to the dr they just get pushed aside

    Possible misdiagnoses of type 2? LADA instead?

    Hi everyone, A quick background- I got told I was diabetic last May and GP thought I was type 1 (I was 24, weight lifting and cardio 4x a week, healthy weight and diet due to history of eating disorders). HBA1C was 72. I was asked to come in to test for ketones, which they found and I was sent...

    New T2- Wrong Diagnosis?

    Thanks Ellie, I showed my GP my readings for the last 2 weeks and he said them being low is irrelevant because the hba1c indicates diabetes! I think I will start testing at 3am until my free libre arrives. I work within mental health so our patients have other teams that advise them on their...

    New T2- Wrong Diagnosis?

    Hey, so I did the bloods when I had symptoms and still continue to have symptoms now- in all honesty, I never went to the dr with my symptoms because I thought I was just overworked as I am a student nurse, so have uni, placement, work, gym etc. I have never tested positive for covid but...

    New T2- Wrong Diagnosis?

    Hi, I had all the symptoms of diabetes! I have just ordered a free trial but it looks like they may be out of stock so I’ll wait and see if I receive it, thank you!

    New T2- Wrong Diagnosis?

    I bought the blood monitor and strips new, and also use the monitor at my ward sometimes to check. My blood sugars carried out at a&e, the gp and diabetes clinic have all been below 7 too.

    New T2- Wrong Diagnosis?

    Hi, thanks so much for your reply. The Dr has checked my bloods for anything else and they’re all fine, but I shall ask for the fructosamine test. I wasn’t eating low carb or fasting and haven’t been on any medication. I feel in a catch 22 as they sent my situation to the endocrinologist dr who...

    New T2- Wrong Diagnosis?

    Hi guys, I posted a while ago on a separate thread about the current situation I was having with my possible diabetes. I am 24, a weight lifter who is not overweight and do not fulfil any of the risk factors for T2. My first HbA1C result was 55 and then 72 on the next test. My BMs have never...

    Type 1 Conflicting Diagnosis, New Possible Diabetic?

    It upset me because I've always struggled with food so was not what I wanted to hear, just feel like they were ready to write it off and get me out tbh! Yes definitely, this is what I think I'm going to have to push for now

    Type 1 Conflicting Diagnosis, New Possible Diabetic?

    I'd only just bought the monitor yesterday after the days in hospital, so it was one of my first times testing at home

    Type 1 Conflicting Diagnosis, New Possible Diabetic?

    I think because I'm not testing at home, I don't know if my BG is getting high or not, but yeah there were 2+ ketones when they did the first ketone test, so it's all very confusing! Okay, thank you, I'll speak to the Dr and see if that is something that could be possible.

    Type 1 Conflicting Diagnosis, New Possible Diabetic?

    Hey, thanks for your reply. So I'm not on any low calorie/carb diet, and had eaten around 4/5 hours (some fruit slices and tuna and couscous) before due going straight from work to the drs, but had been drinking plenty of water all day. All I know is my ketones were 2+. The A&E Dr said Type 1...

    Type 1 Conflicting Diagnosis, New Possible Diabetic?

    I know don't know if I'm even being referred to the clinic after the last Dr said no to diabetes; I was told on Friday with the first diagnosis that it would be an urgent referral with contact made today, but now I'm even wondering if the referral will be made

    Type 1 Conflicting Diagnosis, New Possible Diabetic?

    I think he made that assumption of the ketone level I has gone to A&E with and the HbA1Cs, but again, I am unsure, very confusing

    Type 1 Conflicting Diagnosis, New Possible Diabetic?

    Thanks for your replies, I don't understand either! I have spoken to my GP (who said yes to diabetes) this morning and she is speaking with her senior for the next steps. Just feel I've been given a diagnosis, taken in all the information, and then been told there's nothing wrong with me and I'm...
