[QUOTE="Sally_8873, post: 2111737, member: 512008"] T2, so I'm told. I asked for a GAD test which was negative. My GP seems reluctant to do further tests - wants me to go on metformin. I'll ask again for a c-peptide test - they said no last time. Would it make a difference to treatment though? Apparently there are slim south Asian T2s which I do appreciate. I'm not just slim though, I'm sporty and quite toned which is why I'm so confused. But maybe I'm just T2 and need to accept it's highly genetic, can't be lifestyle modified and I need to start on medication. I'm only 36! There's a lot of diabetes in my family but I thought a healthy weight and exercise would mitigate the risk so bit devastated by the prospect of a lifetime of medication so soon but it seems to be that or to go blind in 20 years...
