Hello,
I have a medical concern.
I don`t have any type of diabetes as well as my family members.
Already 2-3 weeks i have some of diabetes symptoms ( thirst and frequent urinating).
Around that period i had a pretty big stress.
I talked to my doctor : i made Blood Test, urine test, ultrasound of abdomen, a1c test.
I bought Glucometer to check my glucose level even.
a1c came up as 5.3
I had high cholesterol, but doctor told that i need to exercise a little bit more and it will be ok ( it`s not too high) , but i didnt have any overweight problems definitely.
My doctor told that 5.3 its a normal level and if i want i can retest it in 1-2 month period.
Today its around 1 month after first symptoms.
I am trying to monitor my glucose level probably because i am very anxious about it.
I was on a diet ( low carb diet) and i lost about 3 kg in a pretty short period of time 2-3 weeks + i was exercising each day ( swimming).
And when i tested my blood glucose it always was in normal range. ( around 80 fasting around 100 after a meal)
Today i decided to make an experiment and to eat
pack of California roll ( white rice some sauce and i think a crab meat) + i ate a red apple after this.
I checked my BG level in 1 ( probably 45 minutes) hour and it was around 140-150
And in 2 hours it was around 110-115
In around 3 hours my glucose was 74-78.
Is such jump is normal?
How i would know if there is a Type 1 Diabetes or Pre Diabetes or Type 2?
Do i need to do any other testing which will help me to find the solution?
I am male, 23 years old, 186 cm, 79kg.
I don`t have overweight problems at all which are common to type 2.
And as i understand the people with type 1 Diabetes always need insulin to stay healthy, and if they will dont use insulin their organism will not be able to use sugar. ( it will gather in their blood).
But my fasting sugar is always around 80-85
