[QUOTE="Melgar, post: 2708294, member: 520626"] I haven’t got much to offer, but I would have thought your GP would wish to confirm his theory that your pancreas is not producing much insulin anymore, with another C-peptide test. It’s a straight forward test. It would at least confirm or dismiss his theory and be in a better position when prescribing you the appropriate meds. I’m not a Dr, but that would be a big drop from producing 3 x the higher end of normal insulin to producing not much insulin. I’m no expert, but surely if your pancreas was not producing much insulin your blood sugars would be higher . It’s Always a personal choice whether or not to go private and get tested. If I was in your position and able to go private, I would want to know. [/QUOTE]
