Sort your doctor out. Now. A reading of 224 is pretty much what any person, diabetic or not, would have just after eating. If your doctor was doing his job properly he would have asked you to not eat anything and drink only water in the 12 hours before doing a fingerprick test.
As for your A1C...I think most of us would kill to get that kind of reading.
However, before I go out making even more outlandish statements, I've got a question for anyone out there with Type 2 - is there a 'honeymoon' period like there is with Type 1? If there is, that could explain your currently very good levels.
JTBNC, if you could tell me more about the circumstances behind your diagnosis I might be able to help you more. As I've said, your A1C is what a 'normal' person would have, which suggests to me that you don't have diabetes, or, worst case, you have only very recently developed the condition, which I find rather hard to believe since the majority of people diagnosed with Type 2 have the disease for about 2 years before it gets diagnosed properly.
Your weight loss can be attributed to the fact that you would modified your diet since being put on Xenical, and as for you BG levels, they're so static it's almost unbelievable.
I don't want to build your hopes up too much since there's still a possibility you have diabetes, but I recommend that at the very least you go back to your doctor and ask him to carry out a finger prick test properly this time, which he should have done before.
A one-off reading of just over 200 is, quite frankly, terrible grounds to automatically diagnose diabetes. Whilst you're back insisting on another blood test and another A1C, I'd also suggest you ask for a urine test too to check for ketones, which are a far more reliable marker of whether you have diabetes or not.
Make no mistake, I'm not saying that you don't have diabetes.
I'm just saying you should get a second opinion from a qualified healthcare professional.  |
