[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1304360, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! I would ask for a referral to the nearest diabetes specialist, and I would press for a couple of tests - the GAD test and the c-peptide test. Both of those will allow a better diagnosis and help to determine which type of D you have. Most general practitioners rarely see any new diagnoses other than type 2, so you may need to keep pressing, because the assumption is often that all adult onset D is type 2 - and it isn't. Meanwhile, believe me, you have come to the right place! Have a good read around, and you will find masses of information to help you. Ask anything you like. :) [/QUOTE]
