[QUOTE="Geoffno6, post: 1910280, member: 485522"] I’m nowhere near qualified to answer the question but I have a little experience. I’m a slim diabetic. Dx in June 2018 Hba1c 126 My Doc thought I was T1 and I finally have the meeting he arranged with the Endocrinologist this Wednesday. At my 1st review with my D nurse in late July my Hba1c was down to 67 by going LCHF, she reckoned I was T2. Frustrated I blew £500 on tests and seeing a private doctor the diagnosis was T2 With hindsight I’d have a GAD test and a C peptide test. I cant remember who but one of the guys on here bought the tests cheaply on line and simply got his surgery nurse to fill the phials when he was having a blood test at his GPs. Obviously if you can get your local surgery to do those tests great, the results are pretty black and white if you’re a clear T1 or T2. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
