[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2227400, member: 401801"] They need a second HbA1C test to confirm a T2 diagnosis. There's a few reasons why your numbers could be higher or lower than they actually are. Anemia for instance. And I mean, sepsis is quite likely to cause high blood sugars too, with your body trying to fight it off. But as a HbA1c is a 3 month average, you'd still probably be firmly in the diabetic range even if that hadn't happened. So safest to go with the assumption that they'll confirm T2 with the second HbA1c, and go in armed with as much info as you can find. ;) Diabetes doesn't automatically mean insulin. Well, for a T1 and similar types it does, as they produce little to none for various reasons (auto immune condition, pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer which made removal necessary etc etc). But for a T2? We make oodles of the stuff, we're just insensitive to it. Just shooting more in is a bit counter productive, if you want to improve your insulin sensitivity/resistance. So... There's more avenues to explore yet. ;) [/QUOTE]
