He did test me. But he gave me the wrong test. This was verified by my
Endo. You apparently don't know many diabetics. The average type 2 goes 10
years before they are diagnosed. Often it is a complication that leads to
our diagnosis.

Just like the Drs. kept saying that my daughter didn't have blood sugar
issues. She did! Verified by our current Endo. She produces waaaay too
much insulin. Her pediatrician would have let her go until she had super
high blood sugar. This Dr. nipped things in the bud. I can already tell
that the treatment is working. The darkened skin caused by excess insulin
is gone.
