I was diagnosed March 2014 following two fasting blood glucose tests both of which produced a reading slightly above 7 and I was told that I was therefore type 2 diabetic. But my Hba1c results have always been within 'normal limits'. When I queried this I was told I was still diabetic which I have never properly understood. I did attend a diabetes education class after diagnosis and said there that I thought the HB1ac was a more reliable diagnostic method. I was told that things were moving that way. When I suggested that I thought T2 diabetes was potentially reversible if the factors that caused it were reversed, I was treated like a laughing stock! But I now know that I was thinking along the right lines!
