[quote=Anonymous]What were the actual a1c numbers?
Any fasting glucose numbers?

Stop all meds. Call your doctor and ask about stopping the meds as appears they are not working and causing more problems.

Go to an actual endocrinologist and reassess from the beginning.

Go to the drug store and buy a glucose meter and test strips.  This does not require a prescription. Check your blood glucose upon waking, before meals and 2 hours after meals.

Alternative.  Get a CGM.  I think there are now some marketed to non diabetics, but can’t recall name now.

Type 1/1.5/LADA and rapid weight loss would usually  present urine ketones pre diagnosis.  You can also buy ketone strips at a drugstore without a prescription.  If you have high ketones go to the ER.  This is a medical emergency.  If you have moderate ketones, chug water and get to an endocrinologist ASAP.

Log these numbers.  Show them to an actual endocrinologist.

Do not see a nutritionist until you have a diagnosis.  
 
Good luck.  I am sorry you have received such poor medical treatment.  Please be careful.
