[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1810567, member: 196992"] Welcome to our merry band of diabetics, @KevLo! Usually people don't get symptoms of T2 unless their BGs have been very high for some time, so it's possible that it's not entirely certain that T2 is what you have. Your GP can order further blood tests to check this out. There are many types of diabetes beyond just T1 and T2. But whichever flavour you have, there is hope, and this forum offers great support and info, in my experience. High BGs increase the risk of infections, so it's possible that if the sebaceous cyst was infected, there was a link between the two. Your doctor was right to run a precautionary HbA1c. Has your doctor said anything about discussing medications for diabetes, or asked you to make another appointment about it? I'm not suggesting you have to take meds but it's a good idea to discuss options with your doctor so you can make an informed choice. [/QUOTE]
