[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1408515, member: 21149"] Hi. I agree with the posts so far. Your levels do need urgent action. Even without DKA it will be causing damage. I think your weight is an important factor here. If you have excess weight the GPs will automatically assume T2 and that's why you are on Victoza?. Even though I was slim they still, wrongly, assumed T2. I don't think you have mentioned diet so far? Are you having a very low-carb diet at the moment which is essential at least until your BS comes down. Your aim must be to get into a normal weight range so the Victoza can be swapped to tablets or insulin; a very low-carb diet should help with that. It's possible to be both T1 and T2 so it can be confusing. I agree that you need both GAD and c-peptide tests. I finally paid to have mine done privately as my diabetes GP just didn't understand late onset T1; that's always an option. Good luck and do continue to monitor your BS and go to A&E or walk-in ASAP.
