Hi,
Following fairly substantial weight loss I went to my doctor who tested my HBA1C which came back very high. I was then told to come back after 6 weeks for a follow up blood test.
I had reduced my average a fair amount but given another 6 weeks to reduce further but told its looking likely I am type 2.
Following a visit with the diabetic nurse she sent off more bloods but specifically testing my GADS. The test has now come back where I am likely a Type 1 but my bloods are pretty good, below 7 after meals (without medication) but 8ish first thing in the morning before breakfast so really confused.
I am waiting for my referral to the specific diabetic team which will hopefully tell me more.
As mentioned I am a mad if not obsessed with mountain biking and hope this will not effect my cycling too much
