Hello,
Just found out this week that I am almost certainly diabetic. My dad and grandad have type 2, so I always new it was likely - but I thought I would be able to booze happily till 50 then get the the diagnosis.
The thing is I am only 28, quite active, a bit overweight (but not obese) and I am shocked it has hit me now. I went into the GP for tests for something else, but my fasting blood sugar came out at 17, there was glucose in my urine, the finger prick came out at 27 blood sugar and the A1C haemoglobin came out at 9.2 %.
I realise these results look like I have been bathing in chocolate, whilst eating donuts, and I am going to have to be monk like, but I am don't know if it is type one or two? What do people think?
thanks very much for your help.
