Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
I think i might have done those tests but they probably were called by a different name. I know i did do the HBA1c test and i remember my doctor saying if it is more than 7 you have got Diabetes. Mine was 10, i'm hoping we are using the same units of measure here.
I ve also been monitoring myself with a prick test machine. I was told to write all the results down and I have to do this 7 times a day. My first blood glucose reading in the morning is always 7 mmol. It goes up to 9 or 10 mmol after eating lunch (2 hours after). Goes down to 6 mmol before Dinner, goes up to 8 or 9 mmol 2 hours after dinner then goes back down to 7 mmol before going to bed. And then it pretty much stays the same during the night so if i went to bed with a reading of 7 mmol, i wake up with a reading of 7 mmol. I am not saying that these are the same results I got everyday but on average that is what I am getting.
I know the numbers say that my blood glucose is high and I could be Diabetic, but like I said I dont feel any different, I still have no symptoms, I can still do the exercise and assault courses we normally do. Even when the blood sugars went really high after a meal I still feel absolutely fine. Is there some form of temporary illness that raises your blood sugars without being Diabetic? Or could this be a very rare thing that my body just operates on high blood sugar levels?
Also could that pain on the plane have come from the Pancreas? Maybe for some reason it is still recovering from that scenario and as a result I've got a temporary slow insulin being produced? After that pain i did take a lot of sugary stuff and carbs to prepare me for exercises. Could that be why the HBA1c was high?
I hope you can help me by understanding why this is happening and not just confirming what the numbers are telling me. Many thanks for your time!

Hello,
Unfortunately, with continuous high values of blood glucose levels, you seem to have Diabetes.
HBA1c is the most important criteria here. It reflects your blood sugar levels for the last 3 months. Hence, temporary variation is excluded.
If your HBA1c has been always over 10, it indicates your sugar control overall is very bad.
You do not always have the typical symptoms of Diabetes. A lof of patients are unaware that they have T2DM because of lack of symptoms. It is a good thing, you do not feel any different, but you definitely need to be treated for Diabetes.
Sugar levels can be temporarily high because of stress or higher cortisol levels. But it can't be high persistently for 3 months period. Hence, there is no rare thing or temporary event that led to the high values.
I suggest you meet an endocrinologist with your values, who can suggest appropriate treatment for you.
Hope this was helpful,
Regards.
