I finally had another HbA1c test, 6 months after diagnosis and nearly 5 months since I have been getting BG readings within the non diabetic range. The result was 32 which didn't come as any surprise.
Since losing weight I now seem able to eat whatever I like without any problematic readings, I do always test after heavy carb meals such as paella or fish & chips without getting high readings. On Monday I had an ice cream (2 hour pp, BG 4.7), and fish and chips at the seaside (2 hour pp, BG 5.0) with no ill effects.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
No results or symptoms (I never had any at all) suggest that I am diabetic, though the GP insists that I must be even though he cannot provide any current evidence to support this. I had the OGTT a few weeks ago and after 2 hours had a BG of 5.2.
Does anybody know whether it is possible to be classed as non diabetic eventually? It probably makes little difference apart from cheaper travel insurance but would prefer to be able to say no if asked whether I am suffering from a chronic condition, if only that it can get dull explaining that 'no I have no symptoms, nor any adverse test results'.
