[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2495973, member: 21149"] In my experience GP referrals for the two tests vary greatly area by area. The tests need to be sanctioned by the local diabetes clinic and not the surgery. My clinic endo was fairly dismissive when the C-peptide test was 'lost' and the clinic nurse said as my GAD was negative there was no need for a further C-Peptide (ignorant). I complained and now have a good relationship with the endo who accepts I am T1 in behaviour but the tests don't quite prove it. My excellent DN did refer me for the tests at my request despite my GP being dismissive. So, it all depends on your local service [/QUOTE]
