[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1304504, member: 41816"] Don't worry - it is a whole new language and way of thinking for all of us when we start on this road. :) All I can suggest is that you ask your doc and see. And if they won't do the tests, ask again when you get to the diabetic team. The problem is that the tests are more expensive than usual D blood testing, and (I believe) the samples have to be sent to a particular lab, which makes things slower and more complicated. Plus, a lot of times these tests are seen as a waste of money, [B][I]cos, you know, you are going to end up on insulin anyway, so why bother...?[/I][/B] Which always strikes me as bizarre thinking, because (as you will see if you read our LADA/1.5 section of the forum) there are lots of ways that people can manage the progression, if they have the relevant info. Hope that helps. :) [/QUOTE]
