Your GP has considered the possibility of T1; mine told me there was no way I was T1 despite being stick thin, not responding to all the tablets and with no T1 tests. I finally got the insulin I needed. There are two tests for T1 called GAD (for antibodies) and c-peptide to check your insulin level. A negative GAD is not conclusive for not being T1. Around 15% of T2s are not overweight and I suggest many will be mis-diagnosed T1s like me. You have a good GP so hopefully you will end up with the right diagnosis and treatment.</p></blockquote><p></p>
