[QUOTE="halph, post: 2408951, member: 544234"] Thanks for the message and warm welcome, yes they eluded to pretty much what you said about getting me on insulin to bring me down and get rid of ketones but “further tests” were needed later down line to determine 100%, which sound as though they are the ones you mentioned. The nurse in diabetic unit did say the signs points towards type 1 due to my weight and lifestyle but type 2 couldn’t be ruled out. funnily enough the gp in surgery had said it was likely type 2 and said to collect metaformin and await response from their diabetes team Monday (tomorrow). Worried in being fobbed off I phoned diabetes unit who had said that was the wrong advice and should have tested for ketones, which is where I’ve ended up on insulin immediately and informed I’m likely type 1. I will ask more about these tests tomorrow and hopefully get some answers. [/QUOTE]
