Hi,
I was diagnosed with diabetes just under 2 years ago. I was initially told I was type 2 and was referred to a diabetic clinic. Over the next few months I brought my hba1c down to 43 through diet and exercise and Metformin. The clinic then told me my doctor would handle my care as I was managing well. I asked was I definitely type 2 as I am a normal weight and pretty healthy on my last visit so they ordered tests (I was 32 at the time).
Fast forward two years and my doctor rings to let me know the anti GAD antibody test was overlooked and it was positive (think she quoted 76) back in September 2020.
I am on Metformin currently but had they noticed this would my medication/care have been different? I am pretty annoyed it was missed.
Thanks,
Chris
