Two days no dr call

C peptide is not antibodies. It’s an indirect measure of insulin production. Please tell me she’s ignoring this not failing to realise this. Menopause might be the weight issue but doesn’t answer the bgl. She might be happy with your levels but you aren’t and it’s your body. Sadly unless you can get a referral to someone who will investigate further it might be that you need to go private for this test. Others here have and might be able to guide you where and approximate costs.

Thanks.
I’ve got to try and work out when to get memo bloods done simply because you have to book the appt and soda law my time of month won’t behave and will change.
I think I need to just preservere. Even if the diabetes is refusing to behave I sleep so much better with fewer carbs. Hadn’t realised before but noticed since xmas I’ve been sleeping past 4. On the days I e had chocolate since my tests I haven’t slept past 4 again and getting back to sleep is difficult.
Maybe if I do it for how I feel and quality of life over diabetes it will be better for me. I can’t control the D and that’s just frustrating me.
I’ll see how much the tests cost. Although I’m guessing you have to pay for them to be looked at as well.

Do the bloods then get the appointment atleast they have agreed an appointment then you can discuss concerns further

As above cpeptide is not an antibody. It is a molecule that is released attached to the insulin so by counting the cpeptide molecules gives an exact amount of insulin produced

However i never has a cpeptide test issued by a gp it was always requested by my consultant
