[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1539698, member: 196960"] I've only been ever told I'm severely insulin resistant. Now I hear type1s can be insulin resistant too. I'm sure I'm type2. Well I've told medics I am and never been refuted. Consultant said he will restart me on low basal insulin only and continue metformin after bariatric surgery but that's normal for type2s after being diagnosed 14yrs+ but symptoms for 40yrs+ has me confused. I really should ask for antibody test. C-peptide may show I've burnt out my cells by now, only. I guess consultant can afford to request these tests when in hospital having major op. My insulin need is heavy at present and I don't feel comfortable asking for tests which I feel my consultant has enough knowledge on. Seeing dn next week. I'll pick her brains, she's brilliant too. I may ask consultant to check me officially if basal and metformin not enough on egg size food portions. Luckily I'm doing op for weight loss mainly, whatever the end result. [USER=330044]@Lord Midas[/USER] wow. You're a type2 expert with type1 experience. Cumberland found the same. I'm on the same insulin's as [USER=190075]@Cumberland[/USER]. [/QUOTE]
