Back in March my H1abc was 142 when it should be between 48-58 so I’m told. I am 66 with a BMI of 22. Diagnosis was diabetes and prescribed metformin which did nothing to lower blood sugars -still was reading between 15-25 on a finger prick test. Because of our long waiting lists was advised to go privately- consultant immediately prescribed insulin which did bring sugars down . Results of had test were 4.95. Anything less than 5 is considered normal but the consultant suggested type 1. Go did c peptide test- I don’t know results but go was suggestive of type 2. Research that I’ve done is suggesting LADA because of my symptoms but he won’t redo gad test . What do I do?</p></blockquote><p></p>
