[QUOTE="doc7576, post: 514220, member: 56438"] So, after my last post my HbA1c came back at 6/42 so nurse is happy, although this would suggest an mmol/L reading of 7 which (although is in the good range) seems high to me considering my low carb intake. I asked about seeing someone regarding my historic GH deficiency and possible connection to current situation but she said I would need to see the Dr to arrange something. I hadn’t had chance to make an appointment when I got a call from the NHS reminder service for an appointment with the consultant, an appointment that I had no idea about. So I went this morning and thankfully it was a different consultant to last time. Explained about readings trebling and only controlled with a low carb diet. He didn’t offer any explanation as to why, just said that my current results are good. I asked about a new c-peptide test but was told that since my readings are low and not spiralling higher then it wasn't needed (despite the fact that my readings did spiral higher before low carbing). I pushed regarding a definitive diagnosis but instead he added a new theory to the mix and said I could be an “Atypical or ketosis-prone type 2” which shares characteristics of both 1 and 2. After looking it up it appears to have previously been classed as a form of MODY and has been called, idiopathic type 1 and also type 1.5 before the new name. Great, now I have something else I have never heard of to add to the mix! On the plus side, I had a brief discussion regarding the Gh deficiency and they are going to request the old records and investigate things further, however my next appointment isn’t until November, so I will have to wait, again.
