[QUOTE="davestretty, post: 2165960, member: 30682"] Ought really to also point out that I was First diagnosed Type2 in 2007 without any confirmatory tests, either from GP or hospital consultant, you see I was in my 50s and overweight so it MUST be type 2 (greedy fat old fool diabetes) and didn't respond to oral treatment for years. Finally persuaded a new GP to carry out tests in 2018 and found to be actually type 1 LADA (anti GAD over 1700!). She was quite shocked that even though early treatment had been unsuccessful no tests had been carried out. The moral of the story is INSIST on full tests if you are diagnosed t2 even though you are older and overweight. I now have decent control but have already developed some of the problems caused by poor diabetes control. You might think I'm a little bitter, no I'm a lot bitter [/QUOTE]
