[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 2041699, member: 408573"] Just a point on this. As an insulin resistant T2 I made the decision early on that if a HCP suggested hypoglycaemic treatments I would insist on a c-peptide test before agreeing. This is the only test (to my knowledge) that is done to assess insulin production on the NHS (a proxy marker but the only one available without going private). As has been said many times here treating hyperinsulinaemia with insulin is just not logical. We cannot be alone in having worked out that definitive diagnosis using results garnered from appropriate tests should be gold standard irrespective of cost. [/QUOTE]
