My son lives in Spain and is not happy with his Type 2 diagnosis. He has lost weight and is getting lighter daily. He cannot seem to get the various tests for LADA there of which I know there are a few. He could visit me here in UK to get tests done privately but I am finding it hard via Google to find a company which can do a good set of the tests. Does anyone here know where he could get a range of tests done including GAD and Peptide. Thanks
 
I would have thought an endocrinologist at your local Private hospital would be the way to go.
 
OK so having just moved I need to find such a hospital and ask there. Thanks
 
Google private hospitals in your area. They usually have good websites,
 
Hi. I used Medichecks (other brands may be available.....). They do both GAD and c-peptide. Google them. As c-peptide is fasting you really need to be near one of their centres e.g. London or use an NHS hospital to take the bloods for which Medichecks will pay but the latter was a hassle as the NHS is not organised to take money!
