[QUOTE="Bewildered, post: 2402660, member: 176371"] I haven’t read all the way through this thread but i was treated as type 2 for 5 years despite my protests that i thought i was type 1, with a long list of supporting factors. GP refused to do the test so eventually ( when my weight plummeted and i had pressure areas on my knees and sacral area, felt like death etc etc ) I paid to go privately for a consultation, the Dr took one look at me and sent me to A&E, where I then had the test done on the NHS as i had DKA and his words were ‘you’re not type 2’ just by looking at the state of me. I know you say you are struggling with your weight but I wasn’t on insulin at this point so that may be the difference between us. It helped to know that I wasn’t going mad, that the 3 medications i was on and low carb diet not working with my readings was actually down to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, I am still struggling mind you and have put on loads of weight. But if you feel you need to know, maybe ask your GP to do a blood form to have this done privately? It might help to know? [/QUOTE]
