[QUOTE="Lesleywo, post: 796413, member: 112692"] That's what I don't get .. I have to eat low carb to keep to normal blood sugar levels (just like you do, though I'm not as low carb as you and my bloods aren't as low as yours). Yet my endo says I'm not diabetic and even though I'm GAD positive he says 'you've long past the risk period' whatever the heck that means (it was via email as when I saw him the GAD test wasn't back, though we both knew it was positive since it was 3 years on last test (though I think he had forgotten and now is testing GAD and C-Peptide every 3 months for some unknown reason). I'm just frustrated because I would really like a definite yes or no. I am starting with a new endo at the end of May .. have you any advice on what to do between now and then, i.e. should I go back to eating more carbs but still limit to under 150g a day, so as to give a more realistic HbAlc - my first HbAlc on a high carb diet was 5.8% ... still 5.8% on reduced carb diet - or should I insist on any other diabetes test? I remember [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] said she has never officially been diagnosed with Type 2 because she started low carbing in the prediabetic phase, as I have. [/QUOTE]
