[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2188710, member: 345386"] [USER=517958]@wizardlywitch[/USER] - The HbA1c you quoted at 28, in October is a good, healthy number, so no issue there. You don't describe anything to suggest that your body is unable to deal with what you eat and drink. If, as you say, you were binge eating from, say mid-August, and still returned an A1c of 28 in October, it looks like your body was, at that time, still able deal with what you were eating. (Whilst an HbA1c test is described as an average blood sugar reading over the last 3 months, it is influenced by the most recent 2 months, and shorter, so you initial binges could be accounted for in the October test.) I don't see a test for December or more recently than October, so aside from your binge eating, I can't see anything to highlight that your eating might have pushed you up alarmingly.) In a healthy person, with an agile metabolism, it can be astonishing what it can cope with. That doesn't mean that bingeing on sugar/carb heavy foods is absolutely fine. It's not a great idea from all sorts of perspectives. My advice to you now would be that, if you are unable to do it by your own free will, that you seek help with your bingeing activity. That seems to be at the core of your issues you describe. At 18 you can develop Type 2 diabetes, but what you describe of yourself (aside from the bingeing) isn't make me want to run a big red flag up any flagpoles. Anyone eating a lot of food they aren't used to consuming could easily develop indigestion and feel nauseous. Just think how many ads we see on TV at this time of year for indigestion tablets, and how many folks we hear of who need to have a little nap after their Christmas dinner? Please seek help for that anxiety and bingeing. It's important. On a final note: Do you have any family members who live with diabetes of any type? [/QUOTE]
