[QUOTE="pollensa, post: 1875682"] Valid good question. I was in same situation was I Diabetic or Pre??? was the question exactly. Not a doc, just a suggestion box, based on fact, I had an error lab A1C that indicated Diabetic and told to convince myself I was diabetic,even though I argued /questioned there was discordant results asking for immediate second test,I only had one A1C which would have clarified my concerns as if two were on par over the cut off or over, it would have allowed label accordingly, and clarified discordant situation, it was refused, so, for 3 months I was under impression I was diabetic, finally after repeated requests, I got 2nd A1C, pre diabetic, search done same time my request first A1C test,and yes lab error typographic error resulting, I as not diabetic, was Pre Diabetic from onset, pre diabetic the 2nd A1C test. perhaps depending on info you know about your diagnosis? why dont you go back to the date you were diagnosed as the nurse, doctor whoever, as they to indepth explanation, ask what the actual result level was if it was an A1C test you had, if you are not aware, they based diagnosed Diabetic that warranted immediate metformin?, also, you may wish to ask what the average equivalent sugars were on the result of A1C to see if any discordancy? Current test, Ask nurse also to clarify, why there is a difference between first diagnosis, and new diagnosis? i.e. due to medications, or other, also ask if you dont know what the recent test A1C level was, that indicates difference of diagnosis, relating to her confidence stating "your not diabetic, by saying that is she indicating your first test may have been wrong, or meaning referring, Metformin has changed a diabetic status of first test, to now pre? there may be something on your records, unbeknown to yourself, that the nurse may be aware of shows, that could explain how is she in position to inform and know this? perhaps some direct questions asking to obtain, clear answers and information would help clarify your question overall hopefully. Just a suggestion box idea, it depends how much info you have re your tests previous and level and differences of diagnosis of course, as well? Questions it seems definitely required to clarify situation for peace of mind? [/QUOTE]
