I do not think I was initially misdiagnosed with diabetes. I had all the classic markers and A1C and fasting glucose at around 20. I do, however, feel like I'm a Type 2 in remission. Or a Type 2 managing with diet and exercise. I feel like I'm definitely more in the RH category than the LADA...

I don't drive.

Yes, I'm going to the pharmacy and buying more DEX tablets, orange juice drinking boxes, and mini cans (175ml) of cola.
