Hey, everyone. I am a self-diagnosed prediabetic, my HB1AC levels were borderline the last time I had the test.
Basically, I went to my doctor and told him about my concerns. First of all, he said it's unlikely that I have diabetes because of my age, even pre-diabetes, but my last HB1AC test, I was borderline? I also asked him about a gluco-meter and he said that it was way too much and that I didn't need it, he even laughed. He half-heartedly assigned a new HB1AC test that I will be taking tomorrow, but should I take the doctor's word for it? I didn't go through 10 years of medical training but at the same time I am aware that they don't listen to teenagers let alone girls.
I've been incredibly anxious about this but with the way he acted, it seems that it is not that a big of a deal. Although I am on a diet right now, I have only lost a few pounds. I am very close to starving myself so I can shed the weight quickly because I seriously don't want diabetes.
But, as much as I am going to commit to the lifestyle I am a teenager. I have a birthday party today and we'll be eating high carb Chinese food and lots of ice cream. Tomorrow, the blood test will be at 4:00pm. Will my diet murder effect my HB1AC tests? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Thanks!! <3
