[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1304416, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes, do pressure for GAD and c-peptide tests as it looks like you could be LADA (Late onset T1). Loss of weight and not being obese are indicators. GPs can be reluctant to do these tests or aren't even aware of them. I had to have mine done privately. I assume you aren't on steroids or similar which can raise blood sugar a lot. It's possible you may need to go onto insulin eventually which is no big deal but works. Discuss adding Gliclazide to your meds with the GP. This is commonly prescribed for those with a failing pancreas to help produce more insulin for a while. [/QUOTE]
