[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2075498, member: 372717"] Exactly what I was thinking as I read [USER=497641]@Starfish18[/USER] 's post. Of course, blood sugar's are raised by stress, so worrying about them is a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy, but I would be requesting one as the first thing to rule out. (Though I'm not sure whether a GP can order one, or it has to be a hospital diabetic clinic???) A C-peptide test measures the amount of insulin produced by one's pancreas. T2s typically produce high quantities, because they are struggling to make their insulin work to process their carbs. T1/LADAs (LADA is a slow onset T1) will have low levels, because their bodies are gradually producing less and less insulin. If you're LADA then no amount of low carbing will help, because you're just not producing the insulin your body needs.... Unfortunately many many adult onset T1s start out misdiagnosed as T2s, so it is a check that needs to be done. [/QUOTE]
