Hi all
I am beginning to wonder if I really do have diabetes or if I just had far too much sugar in my blood due to really bad eating habits-if that's possible :?:
I had my hb1ac test done this morning. When I self-tested 1st thing this morning it was 5.8. I was fasting so didn't have any breakfast or metformin. After the doctors, I had a banana then when I got to work I decided to have a twirl (already had blood taken so I thought if going to cheat then today is best day to do it
). My levels have been really good so far and I have stayed off chocolate since diagnosis (except aldi's) Anyway, got sent home due to the high winds. Had corned beef sandwich and 4 chocolate digestives (no it's not a typing error :lol: ) and 3 chocolate fingers. Then a bar of aldis mint choc at 12g per bar and some nuts. About 2 hours later I came to my senses and thought I'd better test, the reading will be high and frighten me into stopping the rollercoaster. Couldn't believe it 5.8 :shock: After that reading I had another 2 chocolate digestives. I'm afraid I am on the slippery slope...
Don't get me wrong I am really pleased with this but also curious. It just doesn't seem right :crazy:
Any opinions? or have I just been lucky this time?

I was the same after I was first diagnosed. For the first 6 months my readings where great, and I hadnt really changed my diet, although I was excercising, but I thought they have misdiagnosed me, and I started to let my guard down, and surprise surprise my readings started to go up and up. luckly I have got everything back under control again, and even now I'm thinking, do I really have diabetes? But I know it's there, and if I let my guard down again I know I'll be back to square one. In saying that, what I would do to be able to eat all that chocolate in one day and have those readings, yum yum
