[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2316404, member: 372717"] I second the others' concern that you might potentially be T1/LADA (LADA is slow onset T1). Your doctor will be assuming you are T2 because of the GD, but your symptoms are concerning and I would urge you to go back to the doctor asap, describe your symptoms and ask for a c-peptide and GAD tests. [URL]https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/diabetic-ketoacidosis/[/URL] If you have DKA then you need to go to the hospital, as it is lethal if left untreated and needs insulin. Good luck. ps you could try getting some urine testing strips from the chemist and testing for ketones, though lowish levels of ketones are normal if your are in dietary ketosis. [/QUOTE]
