[QUOTE="kesun, post: 506863, member: 39776"] Welcome. If I were you I'd ask for a referral to a different consultant. It's not clear what type of db you have, so they should keep testing till you get a definite answer. You need a consultant who understands the possible effect of your earlier illness and the HGH you received and who also understands the various types of db including the rarer monogenic ones such as MODY and MIDD - perhaps more of an endocrinologist than a straightforward diabetician. It is one of the improvements in the NHS that you can ask for a referral to a different consultant or hospital. The NHS (and specifically your GP's surgery) is currently paying for a high level of medication that you may not even need. Perhaps this thought, tactfully phrased, may help persuade your GP to make the referral. Kate [/QUOTE]
