Hi - I was diagnosed Type 2 a couple of years back after some horrid gallbladder attacks which resulted in removal of my gallbladder. My hbA1c at the time of diagnosis was 51. A few months later it was down to about 46. I went on to have a third baby and during my antenatal care had hba1c tested very regularly and got it down to 31 at one point! That was almost two years ago now.
My GP has just asked me to go for another blood test as part of my diabetic review. I am hoping it will come back low. I occasionally test blood sugar at home and it's never stupidly high.
My question is - can you get a sort of 'temporary' diabetes as a result of gallstones damaging or irritating the pancreas? I feel like I may have been misdiagnosed based upon one high reading. I do not fit the classic description of a diabetic; I am very slim and active and have never had any other symptoms like thirst or frequent urination etc.
Forgive me if this isn't the right place to ask; I figured you guys would be the pancreas experts ;-)
