[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 1353900, member: 40343"] OK, so first I'm not a medical professional just someone with a lot of experience of all types of DB because my family is full of it (T1, T1.5 & T2). The blunt answer is something is up and you need to get it investigated. A 38 year old 11 stone weightlifter does not fit the profile for T2 in any shape or form. I really would make an urgent appointment with your GP and mention LADA T1.5 and ask for a GAD or c-peptide test. Take someone along to back you up if you are worried about confronting a reticent GP. The test will rule in or rule out T1.5 and at least start you on the process of finding out whats up. If you get nowhere you could try the A&E route or you could ask the GP to refer you to an endocrinologist at your local diabetes clinic or hospital. Once a hospital doctor gets you your GP must follow the instructions they give. In the meantime I'd cut down on the starchy foods as I and others are suggesting but I wouldn't think of this as the long term solution. In the meantime keep posting updates on here as there are loads of people here who can offer you great advise. Take care Steve [/QUOTE]
