[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2411803, member: 196898"] A&E .may be a quicker route to get a diagnosis, seeing how difficult it has become to talk to a GP nowadays. However, you may still be a T2D and producing your own insulin. I was in a similar state where my meter greeted me with a HI and nothing else meaning I was clocking above 32 mmol/l. I made a deal with the devil (actually my very nice GP) that I would go onto insulin if I could not turn things around in a month. I logged into this Forum, and did some speed learning, and went low carb diet. I achieved a significant drop and my GP backed off on the insulin. I am on orals only and controlled by diet and my last few HbA1c's were all below the diabetic range. So in my case I proved that I was producing my own insulin and I have reduced all my meds down to a holding dose. So it is not necessarily a sign that you need to go onto insulin treatment, But A&E may give peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
