[QUOTE="Steveee, post: 2576216, member: 12910"] Hi, the thread seems to have drifted off your original question of ‘why I am showing signs of developing diabetes….?’ TBH it’s a difficult question to answer just based on a single test result.and really down to an endocrinologist to investigate. From what you say you’re doing all the right things but for some it’s just bad luck! Some people are diagnosed as type 2 when adults but are actually a subtype of type 1 caused by an autoimmune condition aka LADA, or have a condition called MODY caused by a gene mutation. Both can be tested for if your HbA1c drifts into a level you have a diabetes diagnosis. It’s imortant to get the diagnosis right. If they are the diagnosis, both are treatable but in different ways. It is important to get your HbA1c checked regularly, as long term higher than normal bg levels can cause complications we all want to avoid. Just to give you assurance, diabetes (if controlled) isn’t a life limiting condition. I’ve been diabetic (Type 1) for over 50 years and have managed my HbA1c down to 46 mmol/L avoiding any associated health conditions. [/QUOTE]
