[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2146236, member: 420515"] Why do you want extra tests? Is there something about your diabetes you find unusual or an unanswered question on how it works. Assuming your diabetes is 'normal' diabetes: As a type2 treated by diet, your doctor is right, all the c peptide test will tell you is that you are producing approximately normal amounts of insulin. We knew that already because you are a type2 treated by diet. The insulin resistance test will tell you that you have a small amount of resistance, but we knew that already because you are a type2 treated by diet. You should be getting the standard range of blood tests at your check up, including HbA1c, cholesterol, mineral levels, infection markers etc. Unless there is something strange going on with your diabetes you don't NEED more, although I'd probably want to know anyway.
