| I wonder if it's because many doctors don't test when they should.
I have posted here numerous times about my first attempt at a diagnosis. I was ridiculed and even accused of lying. She never bothered to perform a single test. Even now, if we were to rely on the a1C or a fasting I would be given the all clear. It was only because my doc had me test for a week that we know that I have it. That, and the OGTT I asked for. To this day I wonder what would have happened if she had me test after eating (she had me testing before meals, not sure why) because I discovered not long after diagnosis that I was hitting well over 200 several times a week. Would she have diagnosed me as D instead of Pre-D?
There needs to be more awareness in the medical community of early symptoms- particularly reactive hypo.
