My GP told me categorically that he couldn't order me either the GAD antibodies test, or the C peptide test, and that if I wanted them (of course it was me who mentioned them in the first place) he would have to send me to hospital to their diabetic clinic; a thing that until today I was unaware of the existence of.
Just reading the first page here on the forum though, I seem to be seeing at least a couple of people who claim to have received these tests through their GP.
Am I misunderstanding something on here, did my GP lie to me, or is he just incompetent..?
He also claimed that the tests would make 'no difference' and proceeded to prescribe me a new medication. Shouldn't he be concerned about properly diagnosing my type of diabetes..?
