[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2431910, member: 451727"] Hi MrsA2, now that's a difficult one isn't it! I'm not sure that after following a low carb strategy for a while like you have will necessarily result in a rise from a one off high carb meal. You may find that any insulin resistance you may have previously had nearer to diagnosis has improved or even gone, meaning you could eat that high carb meal and find your levels do not rise or even end up lower. If that happened, your team would use it as evidence that you are not diabetic. It's a real dilemma actually because many people rush to go very low carb in the days following a diagnosis and then (artificially if you like) lower their numbers and get told 'You're fine, you are not diabetic'. I don't really know the answer other than to up your carbs significantly over a longer period than 'one meal' but of course I'm guessing you don't want to do that. I think they might view you as 'glucose impaired' if anything at this stage but that won't get you your type 2 diagnosis back of course. Interesting post though, you don't often get someone battling to get their diagnosis back. I wonder how many people are out there in similar circumstances, knowing they have diabetes but managing it so well that they end up getting chucked off the register and left to fend for themselves when it comes to monitoring, foot checks, eye tests etc. Good luck though and please let us know the results of your experiment.
