Newbie 1.5 feeling meh

I believe euglycemic DKA is possible with some medications, the warning should be given when the medication is prescribed. A c-peptide test rather than assuming its type 2 would also help reduce the risk for people in future ... unfortunately neither seem to be happening :(

My c peptide is 533 on the lower side but still within the type 2 range the consultant told me, I had it re-done and it’s now 503.
The specialist nurse was looking through some of my old blood tests and said some numbers should have been picked up on in 2018 but I can’t remember what the numbers were in regards too. I shall ask at my next meeting with her.

You need the corresponding blood blood glucose concentration to interpret c-peptide values, ideally blood glucose should be around 7mmol/l at the time. Low c-peptide with low blood glucose is not going to be as helpful ...
