Your doctor should not have dismissed your blood sugar being 200, especially a fasting blood sugar. Nov is a long ways off. May I ask what lab he/she ordered?

They ordered a lot, they did a h1c which came back normal and glucose which also came back normal. And a lot more. All normal

Are you worried about your wellbeing in the meantime? I hope your endo appointment isn't too far from now. Make sure you are familiar with the signs of ketoacidosis and call your doctor / go to the hospital if you have any

yes I am, yesterday at work I just didn't feel like myself at all, I think my sugar was low not positive I didn't check it. But after I ate lunch I was ok. My appointment is November 1st. I'm not familiar with ketoacidosis but I will look into it.
