With that shock, I let the nurse draw some more blood and I left the doctor's office. You just need to adjust your diet and you can lead a very healthy life without any complications." He referred me to a nutritionist, prescribed some pills, assured me that I will be fit to run my next marathon if I promised to take the medications regularly and changed my lifestyle. He said, "I had a 17 year old boy yesterday who we found out was a type 1 diabetic. The doctor was very kind and told me that I was better off than some of his other patients that he had to break similar bad news to. That was a fascinating news for both of us and now I have to deal with this terrible news. Just 2 days ago, my wife's OBGYN confirmed that she was 2 months pregnant. With tears still in my eyes, I told him that I was prepared to be diabetic after 20 years and was ready to accept "genetic" as an answer, But I was not ready to hear this at a young age of 29. Now it was just a matter of needles or pills for the rest of my life. That's how I learnt that I was a diabetic. how can I have high sugar ?" (apart from sugar, the tests showed that I had very high Cholesterol and Fats as well). I told the doctor, "I had finished a Half marathon with a good timing just weeks before the blood tests. I had tears right in front of the doctor and nurse. I was aware of the complications he had to suffer being a diabetic. I kept asking myself where did I go wrong ? I was eating healthy, I was eating home cooked meals, I was not overweight, I was running regularly, I show no symptoms of diabetes, then why these results ? and why me ? He said, "I had crossed the diabetic range by a huge margin and he needs to confirm if I had Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes." At least 4 times the normal fasting glucose number. I asked him by how much was my sugar high ? He said, very high.
When I reached his office, he explained to me that my fasting sugar was higher than normal and wanted me to undergo some more tests. Back in July 2012, I was called by my doctor to discuss some abnormalities in my blood tests.
