Month one on reta and I think my numbers are about to raise eyebrows. My diagnosis is type 2 diabetes, and the next A1C is due soon. Fasting readings the last few mornings have sat around 87, and through the day my meter averages low 90s. I check several times daily, so that's a lot of data points. For context I also went low carb with high protein, started lifting again and I'm on the bike a few times a week, so I can't credit the reta alone. Still, the trend is hard to ignore.
What worries me is the appointment itself. If the lab comes back non-diabetic after only a few weeks, my doctor will want to know what changed. A coworker says I should be upfront about what I'm taking, and I keep flip-flopping. Has anyone had this conversation? How did your doctor react, and did you bring it up first or wait to be asked?
