@AloeSvea First off, thank you for your kind words and wishes! My loved ones are very concerned just as I am, to be honest, maybe even more than me... But I guess that is normal. We all wish that I can work this out very soon. Right now, I make sure that I eat enough. I can't, by any means...

I see. As for the anemia, it has been ruled out on my recent test which was not so long ago. My current "diet plan" if I can call it that way, is what I called ballanced and with enough calories. As I mentioned in some of the threads, I'm very active and I feel like it contributes to me not...

I've noticed that I can eat the exact same thing before noon and in the later afternoon/evening. And it always causes a greater spike in the morning or before noon. Is this actually a common thing?

The amount I mentioned was what I had besides water. I usually drink about 1,5 L water a day (usually sparkling water) Sorry for the confusion though :)

That is what I always do. My doctor actually mentioned that as a positive thing when I went last time, that I am always, always prepared :) I also do my "reading and research". It is the anxious side of me that won't let me go to an appointment "just like that" :D

When I have to urinate, it is usually loads. And it is always clear/light yellow. Even if I haven't drank as much beforehand. There is no pain or burning. Just that annoying sense of urgency. And it disturbs my sleep, last night I had to go 4(!!!) times, even though yesterday I only had like 1...

It seems like more and more things point towards me being type 1. Now this fact with the protein as well... But I don't want to draw conclusions just yet. I'll wait until my labs are done, at the moment, the more I think, the more stressed I become and that has an effect on my readings as well.

As far as I know they don't/didn't use insulin (one of my relatives passed away a couple of years ago due to diabetes complications, sadly) I've already talked to my doctor and we scheduled all needed tests. So, very soon I will have an explanation for my condition. Hopefully :) I'm not as...

@AloeSvea As for my height, I just notice that most of my peers are taller than me. Well ok, not most but quite a lot of them. That's why I said I'm average. Nevermind :) Very soon I'm going to be tested for LADA. But Type 2 is not impossible after all, because no matter my weight and age - I...

To be honest, I have no idea of my waist height ratio. I have never measured it. But I'm not tall nor short, kind of standard height (1.68cm) and I have never had belly fat.

Hi and thank you for your detailed reply. My HBA1c is 5.9, and soon I will have a follow-up on that so I'll see how things are going. My BMI right now is around 16. Too low, I know :( I have been skinny my whole life, not worrying about calories and food at all. You know, a real "intuitive...

Yes, everything is fine with my thyroid, luckily

Generally. what is the consensus about using metformin for prediabetics, particularly for those who are underweight or with a normal weight? Do you have to reach a certain A1C number? Or some risk factors? And what are the pros and cons of using it?

@Robbity Many thanks for this detailed response, just what I needed now (Thankfully I have always loved mathematics :)and I know in advance this will be interesting for me)

Sorry if this has already been discussed on here but I couldn't find anything about this here or on the web. Are there any difference in the readings for example one being normally higher or lower than the other?

Exactly this. Sometimes I even get the same readings after eating a high carb vs a low carb meal

Thank you everyone for your kind words and helpful suggestions. I just hope that I will get my answers, sooner rather than later. So, I guess my next step should be to request GAD antibodies and c-peptide tests? Is there anything else I should do in order to clarify my situation? And what if...

It shows the last 14 day average. Basically I have 2 questions about this. 1)Can this number somehow "predict" how my next HbA1c is going to look like? and 2) If I want to calculate my average fasting, or average post meal numbers, would it make any sense to write this numbers separately and...

Hi, thank you for sharing your story and I'm also glad that you got answers and you are doing better now (weight-wise and I hope, health-wise as well). The thing that confuses me is that I have read somewhere that LADA doesn't start as prediabetes. My HbA1c are in the prediabetic range, that...

Of course I will let you know, I'm already a bit anxious about the appointment and all the questions I have to ask. Thank you once again for all your suggestions and support :)
