[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2189382, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! You need some proper tests to see whether you have T2 or T3c. T2 will respond to the treatment you are currently getting (while dietary changes would probably be even more effective) however, if you have T3c then the T2 drugs will become less and less effective and you will need very different treatment (insulin). I would urge you to get the referral as soon as possible. I would also urge you to ask for an appointment as soon as possible to address your current high readings, your doc should not be leaving you with those ongoing. general practitioners probably don’t encounter 3cs very often (significantly rarer than T1 Diabetes, with T2 being the vast majority). But it is very important that you get treated by someone who recognises the differences in D and makes sure you get the appropriate tests and treatments. have you discovered the 3c section of the forum? Several threads in there that you may find useful reading. [/QUOTE]
