[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2409060, member: 451727"] Hi halph, your story is exactly like mine! It sounds like they are on the ball given what you have said. When I went to my GP to begin with it was her who did the finger prick test (sky high) and started talking immediately about metformin and wrote a prescription. As an afterthought she did a ketone test just as I was leaving, then went into a panic, snatched the prescription back and whizzed me off to hospital. The first insulin injection (from a drip) dropped me like a stone, then they force fed me toast and up it went, then more insulin and down it went! Anyway, the Consultant did say most likely type 1 but wanted to rule out type 2. If it does get confirmed as type 1, well at least you know. If you are anything like me, I spent the first few weeks fondly dreaming of putting it into remission (if type 2) but it was not to be. It's really important to know either way of course. x [/QUOTE]
