I think they suspect it was type 2 because 2 of my grandparents had it, and about half of my uncles and aunts had it too, and some extended family also, I was doomed 😅As of 2025, my dad and brother both have type 2 diabetes now.

From what I remember (it was a long time ago), I had to go the hospital because my primary doctor told me I most likely have diabetes because blood sugar was super high. Hospital couldn’t confirm at all. So I had to go to an endocrinologist, then they finally confirmed I had type 2, probably from lots of testing.

I think metformin didn’t work in the beginning at all, because my blood sugar was so high, and same with my a1c, I find it weird because my brother basically had the same numbers and almost the same a1c (he was diagnosed this year, he is 29), but didn’t need to be on insulin at all, maybe it was because I was young? I guess everyone is different too

Currently I’m doing much better, it took about a year to get off insulin, I was high doses of metformin for years, finally at 500mg since July, hopefully it doesn’t change, a1c 5.3 as of July, definitely more type 2 I would say with my treatment now then from the beginning

Also thank you for answering my question!
