[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2193051, member: 21149"] I agree with [USER=475037]@Marie 2[/USER] that T1 is possible even though you are overweight. I was also refused tests for T1 and told I was T2 even though I was slim. I'm afraid so many GPs haven't a clue about diabetes which is why you need to take control as you have done. I finally had my GAD and C-peptide done privately which remains an option if the GP doesn't play ball. The NHS doesn't offer meters due to the cost; it has nothing to do with the medical benefits.
