[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2190425, member: 21149"] Hi. Yes, a bit complicated. I agree the low C-Peptide implies T1. Late onset T1 can be caused by a virus as I suspect mine was and so was a colleague so a negative GAD doesn't mean too much. Weight loss is common as the body can't metabolise the carbs you eat. Your last HBa1C result certainly implies no diabetes so that needs to be done again just in case. That is a good guide to what is going on with any diabetes. Eating low-carb is good but you do need proteins and fats to balance. The modern thinking is that eating fat has little effect on arterial blocking as it's the liver that decides what cholesterol is produced and not the fat you eat. Also carbs are the biggest culprit anyway as the liver stores excess glucose from carbs as fat. You need more evidence about any heart condition and you need to challenge your GP if you did have an abnormal ekg. I had a recovery problem after an operation and the cardio who was around in the theatre at the time and helped, ran me thru a whole series of tests to look for any cause. I had a 24hr ekg which was normal, then a standard echocardiogram then an exercise echocardiogram and finally an angiogram. All a bit over the top but shows that there are relevant tests that the GP could do if, and only if, he suspects any heart problem. It may be you are worrying unnecessarily but discuss the facts if any with the GP. The heart pain could be something else and not your heart. If it occurs often the GP needs to check that out.
