[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 970055, member: 91575"] Hi Jaxx, I would imagine your GP will refer you to your local hospitals diabetic clinic. This is what happened to me when I had a positive (2,000+) GAD test. My consultant says I am a type 1 in the honeymoon period, which some people refer to as LADA, there is no mention of LADA in my hospital notes, just T1 honeymoon period. I refer to myself as LADA, but I don't think the NHS seem to recognise it officially. I asked my diabetic consultant for a c-peptide test, he said it was not worth doing as I was obviously still able to make some of my own insulin, all be it in small amounts. He said depending when the test was done (eg after eating, mid way through meals or prior to eating) would also affect the c-peptide test. [/QUOTE]
