[QUOTE="ert, post: 2106790, member: 504712"] Huge congratulations on your new baby. I'm sorry you're having a difficult time managing a range of symptoms. If your GP considers you maybe type 1 or LADA, you need to be referred immediately to a specialist as they will want to do a range of tests to make sure you are on the correct treatment path including a c-peptide (which will differentiate type 1 (c-peptide < 0.2 nmol/L) and type 2 and four main antibody tests (to support LADA (antibodies combined with a higher c-peptide) or type 1 (antibodies and an extremely low c-peptide < 0.2 nmol/L). If blood tests aren't outsourced and completed in house at the hospital laboratory they take about 2 weeks (which was the time it took for mine). If your GP requests them from an external laboratory, then they could take anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks. If you are type 1 they will recommend you begin insulin straight away. For LADA, you will end up on insulin, but they may monitor your c-peptide in the early stages. Fingers crossed that you get a clear diagnosis soon. [/QUOTE]
