If the doctor ordered it. I am surprised that your doctor would make a definitive diagnosis without that information since it is a key indicator of diabetes.

Oh, no, she didn't diagnose me. Google did, lol. I got a copy of the blood work where it said my Glucose was high. So I looked for info on it, and that's where I found out my numbers mean I'm in the diabetes range. Once I saw that, I saw that my insulin was checked (which I know is for diabetes), so I looked for info on that.
I just made an appointment with her for this Friday. She very well might say that I don't have it, but according to basically everything on Google, I do.

Don't get overly excited until you speak to your doctor then. Google and WebMD are not board certified licensed doctors. Ask her what your A1C values are. It is an invaluable key indicator that is used to definitively mark diabetes.

Okay, Dr. Google is not your doctor. Your doctor is going to do more testing
