I know that the medical field is a huge business and doctors profit on us being sick but it seemed that my bariatric doctor seemed a little disappointed on my very good blood test results.
She flat out asked me if I ever had diabetes when noticing my more than normal A1C level of 5.3
I told her yes that I was diagnosed with diabetes in the early 2000s
I asked her if I currently have diabetes or even prediabetes and she said no but because my fasting blood sugar levels were a tad bit high - 114 that I suffered with something called impaired glucose control
This made me laugh when she said that I suffered from a form of prediabetes prediabetes
This means you are insulin resistant. You improved your a1c but you are always in danger of being permanently diabetic. You will have to be continuously vigilant about keeping your a1c down and watching your weight and keeping to a strict diet. I think this is what your doctor is concerned about.
I asked because I was surprised that your bariatric dr would say you dont have diabetes or prediabetes because of your normal A1C level of 5.3. If you’re taking diabetes meds and they reduce your A1C down to the normal range, that’s fantastic. However, that doesnt mean you don’t have diabetes; rather, it means your diabetes meds are working well for you.
I actually had a psychiatrist and therapist that said I was faking for attention and that I was “creating imaginary friends” to cope with stress they clearly were quacks no other way to put it there always will be idiots in every profession
