[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2012298, member: 94045"] The tests to see if you may be Type 1 are the c-peptide and the GAD tests. Any GP can order these. Have you any idea why you have been referred elsewhere, or are you not in the UK? There are many cases of misdiagnosis between T1 and T2. One common thing that happens is someone presents with high blood sugars, they are slim, active, and young. This in no way precludes T2. Plenty of T2s are of normal weight. Not all obese sloths as the media likes to make out!!!! Even children are being diagnosed T2 these days, so age is no barrier either. All you can do is wait for your results, but please do let us know and keep posting. [/QUOTE]
