Hi I got my c-peptide results from DN

What do you guys think?

Hi was it a fasting c-peptide? Either way, it supports you're type 2.
You need to discuss this with your diabetes team of course.

I have appointment with the consultant soon, the other test results are yet to come back, they're the genetic testing results.

Is it for MODY? Here's some worthwhile reading. In MODY, whilst there is a reduction in beta-cell function, which your c-peptide doesn't support.

I believe so, will find out next week, I have cut down on carbohydrates and yet my blood sugars have been up, today woke up at 19mmol, and 2h after meal, 20.9mmol, I'm not sure what else could be wrong, I have had everything checked but I guess I will see what the consultant says.
 
I checked my ketones today and it was the 5th colour after 15 seconds, not too sure how accurate these urine ketone sticks are, will do another check later

They are not as accurate as strips for a meter. Let us know what your next reading is.

The next step will be to ask to be referred to an endocrinologist. High insulin, high blood sugars and with your age, ask your GP if it warrants further investigation.

I really hope they get to the bottom of what's happening. It's frustrating in the meantime.
