And Type 2 treatments can vary depending on the trigger condition - the approach for steroids induced is different from weight triggered. Failure to identify and properly treat diabetes can, for some, be a matter of life and death. Find the name of the antibodies blood test and ask your GP to do that test when checking HbA1c (only once) to confirm, or otherwise, Type 1 or LADA. A negative outcome will open the way for treatment for Type 2.If your GP refuses ask for a referral to the hospital and if that's refused contact Patient Services for your area.</blockquote>
