[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2330675, member: 196898"] As a T2D who used to clock up test results twice as bad as yours daily, I can empathize, There are two possible reasons why this is occurring, One form of T2D is due to the pancreas being unable to produce enough insulin, in which case there may be a need for treatment with insulin. This is not the end of the world and is quite manageable but is a shock if it is the reason, the other form, which is what happened in my case, is severe insulin resistance where I produce loads of insulin but my body cannot use it properly. This can be treated by medication or as I can vouch for, by changing diet and lifestyle. We cannot advise which is the cause, and you will need some follow up testing by your doctor to confirm a diagnosis. All we can say is Yep, welcome to this site. When the doctor tells you what flavour, then you can find loads of advice here to help you recover and control the beast. In my case, I was having resistance problems, and last month my HbA1c was 40 *i,e, normal) and minimal oral medication. I am not cured, but I am in control. I do not wish to worry you, but I strongly advise you to read up about Diabetic KetoAcidosis (DKA) just in case you have the insulin depletion version and need insulin, Those test results on an empty stomach are unusual and should not be ignored.
