Some Drs put all their focus on the results of the A1c, but the A1c is an average, they don't take into account that many lows might be the reason behind a good A1c....they should look at the whole package; A1c, fasting BG, Post Prandial BG as well as a Glucose Tolerance Test ....that would logically give them a better understanding of how YOUR body metabolizes sugar. You have a great understanding of the complexities of diabetes....don't let some pompous md stand in your way.(not that they're all that way...but it's the characteristic of quite a few!!!)....take care and be well...linda.
ps...Thanks for the support re Meeko. THAT played a trick on my BG!!!
I agree with your brother and uncle....you more fit a type 1.5 profile than a type 2. That's where I'm at....5'7'', 125 lbs...never been overweight, but pigeon holed as a type 2. My sugar higher upon rising....and I dip a lot. It's in the family here as well. Let me know what your doc says. It's odd that with an A1c of 6.5 he hasn't dx diabetes! Has he given you a glucose tolerance test...or did you just go for a morning fasting? A glucose tolerance would show how your body responds to/handles a sugar load. Take care....linda.
Welcome!
Welcome to the family Mike. See if you can upload a photo...and take a peek at some of the groups when you get a chance. Do you suspect you may have diabetes?? Take your concerns to your Dr. for peace of mind, and....take care.
