[QUOTE="Brendan_M, post: 2026901, member: 503982"] Hi Guys, Two weeks ago I went to my GP with stomach pain and unintended weight loss of 15lbs in 1.5 months (Age:30, 5'11" 190->175lbs). Turns out that the stomach pain was unrelated (GERD), but when she did my routine blood work my A1C was 7.2. I was diagnosed with Celiac's disease almost 2 years ago and at the time my A1C was normal. My GP suspected I may have Type 1. She prescribed me metformin 500mg temporarily and referred me to an endocrinologist. I saw her earlier this week and she was very adamant that it was type 2. She didn't order any additional tests and prescribed me Janumet 50/500mg twice a day. All seems to be under control for the time being. I was just wondering if should be pushing to have my c-peptide and antibodies checked as I am at an increased risk for other auto immune diseases or if should just worry about it if my bg starts to become harder to control [/QUOTE]
