Hi I'm looking for your opinion as the Doctors and nurses I see seem to be erm well actually I won't even go there!!
I was diagnosed with diabetes about 9 years ago and placed on insulin virtually straight away. I also take Metrormin with it.
No one seems to be able to give me a diagnosis of my type of diabetes. Well that's not true, depending which doctor or dsn I see it goes from T1 to T1.5 to T2 to just weird.
I was given a GAD and a C Peptide test to try to work it out. The GAD came back positive (only just apparently) and the cpep came back stating I produce 3 times the amount of insulin of a normal person.
I am not insulin resistant. My Levemir is 8 units AM 10PM. Novorapid AM 1u to 10g and PM 1u to 8g which works fine.
So if i produce so much insulin why am I needing extra? Oh I can also and have a couple of times gone into DKA which was fun! Not lol
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
