She seems to not be able to hear me. Just says I'm in range ( much wider range than I'm aiming for) and I'll see the consultant in December or January. Bats it away. I ideally would also like c peptide tests at regular intervals to be able to track the decline of my beta cells. The only one I've had was on the first day I went in, so wasn't a fasting one so might not be as useful as a benchmark. When I asked my doc for one, he seemed keen but passed it onto the DSN, who said I couldn't have one. So many things I'm reading about LADA highlights the importance of regular c peptide and also treating with metformin in early days. Are any consultants likely to support this? Does anyone know how or have any recommendations for going private? Or just paying for these blood tests?</p></blockquote><p></p>
