[QUOTE="RainbowBrite, post: 2026079, member: 74393"] So I was originally diagnosed in 2013 with type 2. GP found it accidentally during a routine blood test and was shocked as I didn't fit the bill as such for a type 2 diagnosis. My hba1c has continued to creep up over the following years and I am now on insulin and metformin. Today, I was seen in the diabetic clinic for the first time (5 years post diagnoses) and my mind is plain. The consultant has sent me for an antibody and cpeptide test straight away. She believes I could be type 1. There was a marker in my last blood test which is normally only there in type 1's. I've got other symptoms which she says can only really be linked to type 1's and I've had my gallbladder removed many years ago and I never knew there was a possible link. So now having blood tests to check. Also being referred for an MRI scan of my pancreas. I really wonder why my GP never picked up on all these signs and if the test show I am type 1 I think I will feel really let down. Sorry for the post....I kind of just felt the need to rant a bit.
