[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 373816, member: 59930"] Hi, I would definitely ask for the blood tests for a correct diagnosis if I was you. The postcode lottery in the UK is not helpful and, as the guys have said earlier, t1 and t2 often do get treated differently. Also, My own consultant insists on correct diagnosis for research reasons... They are constantly researching diabetes, especially type 1.5 so if you are categorised as type 2 it will skew any research results they are monitoring :-) Diagnosed with GD in 2010, Completely disappeared postpartum. Re-diagnosed December 2012 with type 1.5 diabetes, age 26, BMI 23 currently controlled by only Metformin, 500mg twice a day. [/QUOTE]
