First time seeing a specialist. He started asking me what meds I was on etc. Was surprised I wasn’t and then told me it wouldn’t stay that way and I may eventually need insulin. Ok I thought. He’s the expert but we will see and stop being so negative. Was a bit negative about my maintenance until he saw the figures. Now a bit perplexed took history. Said I was really slim, fit, well and still not sure what type I am!! I am a medical anomaly and he thinks I am a strange type 2 but still not ruling out type 1. Was told to carry on as I am until my next HbA1c which he said would be very unlikely to be good! Hmmmm.
Anyway I asked what caused me to get this and He categorically said no one can eat their way to diabetes. He said genes, predisposition but in my case just extremely bad luck. This did make me feel better. Got to have a scan to see what my pancreas is doing. It’s all very interesting/strange.
