Also, I think taking insulin is a major setback, I never want to. Taking insulin increase insulin resistance. Taking more insulin to treat type 2 diabetes, a disease of too much insulin resistance, is treating the symptom and not the cause.

Unfortunately, people with T2DM experience gradual failure of their pancreatic beta cells. Eventually, most will need insulin because of that failure.

Stupid question, cannot all diabetes be controlled by diet alone ?

On a lighter note if the dr wants you to visit with the diabetic educator lady don’t fall for her pranks. She is helpful in lots of diet tips and things you need to pay attention to but if she says ok let’s assume all of your fingertips are sore and you need to quickly check your levels and she says ok sport whip it out and we’re gonna prick the tip of your pecker don’t fall for it like I did dude

If you do catch the beetus they make you learn how to prick your finger but the lady who taught me tricked me into pricking my prick

I don't actually see A1C listed anywhere on my latest lab results. Unless it is named something else on there?

It might be called HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin test, or glycohemoglobin.

You can buy a cheap test meter at any Wal-Mart/pharmacy. You'll have to get the test strips separate. Likely lancets too. Cost me about $30 total

A blood draw in lab for a1c. If your doc sees that its above 6 approaching 7 he might order a glucose tolerance test to see if your pre diabetes

You can buy a glucose monitor and test strips along with a lance and lancets. Those monitor blood glucose in real time.
