Hi,
I am 18 years old. I had a blood test done 6 months ago as I had been feeling nauseated in the mornings, blurry vision, hair loss, sensitivity to cold. As well as a decrease in sport performance.
Results came back as blood glucose levels of 7.5. Which suggested diabetes however my GP dismissed it, saying it was due to my glucose increasing/spiking in response to me fainting before my blood was drawn. Is this possible?
Results also showed I had a slight risk of developing hypothyroidism in close the future.
I had an oral glucose tolerance test done a week later and it came back normal, 5.3.
My mother had gestational diabetes with me, which later developed into type 1.
Is undiagnosed type 1 diabetes possible? Still feeling generally unwell.
