I got the results of my latest hba1c blood test today. I have to say I was shocked by the result.
My previous test gave a figure of 55.
The result today was 50.
The reason I'm shocked is since my previous test i have been fighting a losing battle with my binge eating disorder .
In other words, I have been wolfing down carrier bags full of junk food for the last 3 months and my test score actually improved.
I challenged the diabetes nurse about this result but she said she was happy with the result and I didn't need another test for 6 months.
So given the knowledge of what I've eaten over the last 3 months, should I trust my latest result.
If I can eat what I have eaten over the last 3 months and end up with an hba1c score of 50 I'm beginning to wonder if I really have type 2.
Any thoughts are welcome.
