@Daibell I havent had a C-peptide result confirmed but obesity is where my specialist is concentrating on. Even if I'm a type1 I'm still hugely obese and severely insulin resistant so bariatric surgery is still a solution.
Before being given discharged in the future I won't be going without a GAD result or C-peptide result.
Thank you for helping me get the right diagnosis.
In my favour I have never had dka nor close to one so hospital haven't concerned themselves.
Ive eaten a high protein diet all my life, rather than a high carb one.
Before low carbing I was more muscle than fat but now I'm looking 50/50.
My weight loss came from muscle as I haven't been able to exercise.
I still produce more fat than I can burn. Low carb has to come with low fat for me to lose weight and still doesn't resolve immobility.
GP has referred me for mobility investigation. Appointment on the 24th of this month. It cannot come soon enough.
GP, I think, feels insulin therapy hasn't helped with weight loss and he's right but my alternative was to rot. Which he wouldn't allow that to happen. His referral to my endo has saved my life and my extremities.
Better fat and alive than not fat and dead. A decision which is only temporary.
Not fat and on low carb with supplements and far less insulin is my aim.
I won't be distracted from that.
Bariatric surgery without low carb education is the biggest flaw of the nhs but I'm going to prove even HUGELY longterm IR sufferers CAN immensely improve their status.
How can I lose?
Mobility will be the icing on the low carb cake!
