then that really
then this is where you need to concentrate. im sorry if i come across as not sympathetic i am. your clearly very worried. can i ask has this occurred with other health conditions. there is a condition called factitious disorder that you may want to look up.
look re the diabetes there is nothing that any doctor can do even if your going to develop a form of diabetes.
with your bg at these low levels no doctor would prescribe blood glucose lowering medication. and defiantly not insulin. they would all be sending you into hypos.
re your private doctor your very unlikely to have any symptoms at 10 and to order expensive antibody tests before a proper dignosis is made is very bad practice. here is the current gps guidence for type 2 but the diagnosis is the same .https://www.gp-update.co.uk/files/docs/GP_Update-Spring_2013_diabetes.pdf
his statement that hba1c is not to be used for type 1is correct. what he seems to have missed is that your normal blood glucose levels currently are normal so a high level is not being hidden by earlier low bg levels. you dont swing low if your not getting treatment. diet would not do it alone either. it would slow the rise but it would still be going up.
im so sorry you so stressed. its why i said eat normally and then test so you can see what your real levels are.
Yes, I do have some factitious disorder attributes. Always had. You mean symptoms at 10 mmol/l? I feel like **** at 6 mmol/l. The endo did not even mention type 2. He seems convinced it is type 1, sudden onset and it is caught early. There are people who are diagnosed type 2 mistakenly, get prescribed meds that don't work and then reclassified type 1 after having been swimming in high glucose levels for a while, certainly not doing good to the body.
My blood glucose is rather normal because I don't eat much carbs. It is mostly fats and proteins. Not many carbs. And my BG seems to be going up. Usually, my fasting was 4.4-4.6 all the time and now it is 5.2 on CodeFree.
