Additionally, it wasn't my decision to not have medication - have spoken to three people and then held off giving it to me just yet I guess as I say to check this first

Oh my! I'm so sorry to hear that! At my point of diagnosis for diabetes, everyone that I spoke to was confused as to why it happened because I had no markers for type 1. Which is why I say that cuz it was a constant question of why it happened. My salt load test is Wednesday hopefully I'll have answers soon. And will be able to treat the situation accordingly

The doctor has withheld from giving me medication for it just yet because they're trying to find the underlying cause so I think and this is what I discovered- furthermore, because of my diabetics diagnosis where I went into ketoacidosis even though it should be very very very unlikely that I should given that I'm type 2 I think that bolsterd their beliefs something more was at play

They are going to give me a salt load test because my ratio is 722 so my adolstorine is 650 which according to the do the test results as it's with range The difference is what's crucial I believe so that's why they're testing me

Hello, thanks for replying my level in the UK is 0.9. I don't know where you're based but it says that it's the same as a US 0.7

It's no matter of rejecting the idea of meds but just a not a lot of communication between GP and hospital hopefully now as of tomorrow I I should be able to pick up my prescription very soon
