NHS ha ha, sadly I’d be waiting for months and months. She is very knowledgable and we get on really well, I feel that she feels very self confident she can see the patterns. I wore a CGM the last couple of weeks which was very useful, she had all the charts in front of her and yes I could see that my issues are at lunchtime mainly. She has suggested insulin to bring down the GL to help levels.‘DKA’ & flozins - T1, is that only T1 as she says more like a T1 1/2? She said that I’d be unlikely to have a Hypo, which has been a concern in the past when my number was lower than 6 before going to bed.So, had spoken to hubs about tests, I know of an expert consultant endo, I saw her when I was recently diagnosed and had gone ‘Low Carb’, she was very very pleased with how I had got my HbA1C so much lower in a short time. SO, thinking of seeing her if possible but it will be self funded as my insurance won’t cover it.So at the moment I have a foreign holiday in a few weeks, so when I get back I need to make another appointment with her to discuss what I do next. She has ordered me another CGM, so hubs suggested I asked about the tests as really I should include her in this even if I may have a long wait for NHS tests. I won’t wait, fed up big time with everything. I also have had lot of other health challenges causing me stress.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
