[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1754132, member: 345386"] Hi there - I appreciate it's easier said than done, but I'd urge you to try not to get too stressed out about not "ticking all the boxes" as far as your journey towards a diagnosis is concerned. Diabetes is a fickle condition and it doesn't always fit neatly into any given diagnostic category or box. For example, something like 20% of Type 2s are not overweight, and another percentage (my memory suggests 10%, but I'm not sure on that figure) of those with T1 or LADA don't have the relevant antibodies present when tested. I am reading from your post that the highest you have seen your numbers to date was 170mg/dL (9.4) an hour after eating Indian food? That was before you cut out all the big carbs? Even non-diabetics can see those sorts of numbers shortly after eating, so they aren't in themselves dangerous at this point in time - in my view. Please do wait until you have all your tests back before jumping to any conclusions. You are only torturing yourself. In the meantime, continue to monitor your blood numbers and keep in touch with your medical team. If your numbers continue to rise, or shoot up quickly, then make sure you take further advice. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
