The basics: Male, 27, 300lbs from New York City, broad frame
If you can offer some clarification I would be very happy.
So this is the story. I visited an endocrinologist and he gave me a test where I fast the night before and then drink a super high orange sugar drink in his office. The nurses then took my blood a few times over a long period of time to see how my body was handling the sugar. I was told by the doctor that my level was something over 200 for longer than usual and he told me I have diabetes. Ok, so that's what he told me.
I visited another doctor, it was my first visit, so he asked me a bunch of questions and one of them was about diabetes. I told him I had diabetes but he decided to do some tests. He told me my fasting blood sugar was well within normal levels and that my urine did not have sugar in it, he then told me I do not have diabetes. (I did not tell him about the orange sugar drink test, I only told the GP that an endocrinologist said I had diabetes)
So please tell me what is going on here. Was the specialist doctor trying to "lite a fire under my butt" and get me motivated? Is the GP doctor mistaken?
Thank you for your help.
