| I have asked for a GAD65 and c-peptide already. It is not quite so simple in the UK. The diagnosis is done! Fighting for confirmation is difficult.
For instance, I have had my cholestorol also measured. My chol is high (7.1mmol/l), however triglycrides are in optimal range (1.6mmol/l). Seeing as triglycerides are inv proportional to HDL I may still be in the 5:1 ratio. Oh no, they dont pay for diabetics in my Primary Care Trust to have HDL readings, its to expensive.
I have complained to my member of parliament. We shall see what comes of it!
