[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2515219, member: 480869"] [B]GP[/B] My first HbA1C came back at 55 and then my second a few weeks later at 72. (Diabetic numbers) did the urine ketone dip and ketones were found, although my finger prick test at the time was normal. (Keto or extremely low calorie diet? Otherwise confusing. Do you know the numbers on the ketone and fingerprick test? When and what did you last eat?) [B]A&E[/B] to check everything and give fluid if need be; my ketones were gone when they tested and my finger prick test was again normal, but the A&E Dr said I was definitely Type 1 diabetic (type 1 based on what at this point? Again do you know ketone/bgl number? Had you eaten between this and GP tests as I assume it was the same day?) [B]clinic[/B], my ketones were normal, as were my finger prick test, they told me I was not diabetic at all (what did they say about hba1c? And again numbers?) so I just summarised your tests. You’re right this makes little sense. do you have any other conditions, particularly blood related ones that could render the hba1c inaccurate (though it seems a big jump even for that possibility) I’d keep monitoring in the meantime just in case you are type 1 - and any significant numbers especially if you feel at all unwell go to A&E again to be rechecked.
