Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Antje77" data-source="post: 2310883" data-attributes="member: 372207">Hi [USER=530856]@taylordiane[/USER] , and welcome to the forum!I'm sorry about your miscarriage.To be blunt, yes, ask for a referral to an endocrinologist. Losing weight unintentionally, being young and not really overweight, high hba1c, and very high blood glucose on diagnosis all together points to the possibility of T1 rather than T2. Of course it can be T2 still, but those pointers should have told your doctor to do some more investigation. The tests you want are C-peptide, which tells you something about the amount of insulin you produce, and a test for antibodies to see if your immune system is attacking your pancreas. Anti GAD is the most common antibody, but there are a couple more.I see you use mg/dl for blood glucose and % for hba1c.This being a UK based forum, most of us use mmol/l for BG and mmol/mol for hba1c.It's perfectly fine to use the measurements you're used to on the forum, but this chart might be helpful when reading other people's posts. You use the middle 2 lines, most of us the top and bottom lines.Wish you all the best!<img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57546aa8ab48de37be9cfa97/1474679477294-2B1YCYX436V3E3JLHD0D/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kPtiFaRl1tA80quG5F7F4vxZw-zPPgdn4jUwVcJE1ZvWQUxwkmyExglNqGp0IvTJZUJFbgE-7XRK3dMEBRBhUpxGPSiBGqewI_ABIXOQ7ELPymWWwF1DMsfjJY_o8E0GBvAxJ1foBpyAVKVPF7lIcg4/image-asset.jpeg?format=750w" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
