The diagnosis came initially from a private GP who referred me straight to the local rapid access diabetes clinic, whose DSN did another ketone test (blood instead of urine this time) and concurred with the GP. I'm 39, which I don't think is too young for type 2 (as some people would say too old for type 1, but I appreciate that understanding is changing).
The DSN did tick the box for GAD and c-peptide, but given they didn't mention them in the letter, one would assume they are negative (I don't know why they don't just include the results with the letter).
Also, she asks the GP (who I've never met as it takes 4-6 weeks to make any sort of appointment) to review my lipid profile once the BG profile has stabalised. Does that mean I have to make an appointment or do they call me in? It doesn't actually say. There seems to be an assumption that I know how the NHS works!
