[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP, this sucks. The good news is that pre-diabetes is not diabetes. I'm not an expert - my spouse and child are Type I, but my spouse was mistakenly diagnosed as Type 2 because he was in his 20's when symptoms appeared. So we did a lot with diet at that time. One thing we learned is that it's hard to find endocrinologists and dieticians who are experts and will think out of the box. When presented with problem X, the solution is Y, and that's it. That's how my spouse ended up in the hospital with DKA. Anyway, if you have the resources and time I'd try to find an endocrinologist and dietician that have experience with someone like you who [i]shouldn't[/i] have pre-diabetes. But I'd first wait for your second A1C to come back and see where you are with it. There's also some thinking out there that metformin should be prescribed to people at much lower levels of A1C/insulin resistance. Good luck.[/quote]
