[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2461718, member: 480869"] You say you have a healthy diet, are you also a normal weight? At 21 with a genuinely good diet and normal bmi it’s pretty unlikely to be type 2. And type 1 can deteriorate quickly. I’m shocked your dr is not testing for type 1 and actually think it’s quite negligent. Please go back (ideally to a different dr) and ask to be tested for type 1 and ketones. A meter is essential right now to keep an eye on things and if you are in any way at all unwell please don’t ignore it. Seek medical advice quickly stating you sure suspected of diabetes but the diagnosis is not confirmed. the other thing that can distort Hb1ac is are some conditions affecting red blood cells, like some types of anaemia or sickle cell for example.
