[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2486909, member: 21149"] Hi. Obviously it's difficult for us to comment beyond a certain point but it does sound as though you have been badly let down over the years by the GP service and currently by your endo. From what you say you are T1/LADA and need insulin now or shortly. My own diagnosis is formally T2 due to two poor GPs many years ago not listening to me but I am now seeing an endo at the local hospital and he accepts I'm a T1 but the tests don't quite prove it. GAD tests may confirm T1 but a negative GAD doesn't prove you aren't T1. C-Peptide tests are also not very reliable and a urine one may give a different result from a plasma(blood) one. I would ask to be referred to a different endo or if you can afford it go to a private hospital or test lab for GAD and C-Peptide tests. The most important thing is that you are on Basal/Bolus if you need it. [/QUOTE]
