Definitely get a second opinion from an endocrinologist My gf was diagnosed “definitely, no questions” by her internist and a prescription was written based solely on ONE A1C result. Everything I had read said two definitive testings were required, regardless of whether fasting, sugary, or A1C testing.
She went and the endocrinologist agreed. She has also lost weight, a bit more careful about foods, yet gets little exercise . . . and worries alot less about diabetes. Without the second opinion, a much more qualified one, she would have been on meds and “diabetic for life”
Clarification: her endocrinologist agreed” meaning a second test was ordered and she was NOT diabetic. Still, she needs to watch it with diet/exercise and regular visits with blood testing. Needless to say, the internist is no longer her primary care doctor.
