[QUOTE="cireland, post: 1416608, member: 350422"] [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] So today, I decided to go private before seeing my NHS doctor on the 21st, since being diagnosed Type 2 then Type 1, on my referral letter it said I was MODY and Type 1 which I thought was odd. The doctor I saw is a specialist in Endocrinology. After going through all my details it was fair to say he was confused about my case,especially as being diagnosed MODY and Type 1. We spent a good hour going through lots of questions and talking and genuinely seemed interested in finding out what it is that is actually wrong with me, he mentioned that having a high GAD test does not in itself indicate type 1 diabetes, he also mentioned that itappears no C-peptide test was carried out amongst other things. He wants me to stop taking Metformin (I am taking 2x500mg twice a day) on Monday and see him Tuesday Morning for tests as he called it a "full view of your body and pancreas that will create a holistic view"from which a lot will be clearer. I am going to call the hospital Monday and talk to them about everything he said and mentioned to see what they think (as I am due to see them in the afternoon) but he did mention that for some reason I appear to be a slightly odd case, he is also running some trials at the private hospital with new drugs and experimental medicine which he asked if I would potentially be interested in (if it is MODY or Type1).. Either way I am probably more confused than ever! :) Since my last post I have been playing around with some food items further to see what effect would be on my blood, measured every hour for 4 hours and it's fair to say results surprised me. Full on pizza and sides (takeway) 5.3 before 5.4 1 hour after, 6.5 2 hour, 7.1 3 hour 6.1 4 hour Pasta stuffed with Spanish and cheese 400g (yes 400!) 5.1 before 5..4 1 hour after, 5.4 2 hour, 5.1 3 hour 4.7 4 hour Apple turnover (also with cream) x 2 (21g of sugar in each and about 50g crabs) 5.6 before 6.5 1 hour after, 6.1 2 hour, 5.9 3 hour 5.6 4 hour Burrito stuffed with rice and beef, and sauce. 6.0 before 6.9 1 hour after, 6.6 2 hour, 6.0 3 hour 5.5 4 hour Just for interest! - it's further confused me!
