What is the pattern before LADA

Hi, I've been told that I don't have diabetes or even pre-diabetes, but I'm still worried.

At my annual physical in in January, my fasting blood glocose came back as 6.1 (113). I was going through a very stressful time and having panic attacks and general anxiety (peri-meno??). I'm 47 and don't fit the type 2 profile...weigh 120, blood pressure 90/60, excellent cholestorol levels). My doctor thought the elevated blood sugar was from my anxiety and so sent me for another test 2 months later.

The next test came back with fasting 5.7 (102...which in Canada is not considered pre-diabetic) and a 2hr OGTT of 118. The doctor called me and told me I was normal. This was a great relief to me, but I still have this nagging feeling about it.

I was reading about LADA and was wondering if that could be where I'm headed, since I don't fit the type 2 profile. Is there a period before you're Dx'd with this type of diabetes where your glucose levels are elevated, but not considered diabetes? Would my levels have gone down like that if I were heading towards LADA? Could stress have caused a temporary elevation? I would like to hear what your opinions on my situation are. I'm not sure if my Dr. is planning on sending me for more tests when I go for my next physical...I think it would be a good idea. Thanks so much

I'm with Warren on this. Your test results are fine and you can just keep on doing what you are doing. If it will help at all to relieve your stress perhaps you should mentally explore the option of what your life would be like as a diabetic... Other than adding medication to correct the problem you would most likely be living just the same as you are today, right? You're doing lots of things to maintain your health and this would not cause a huge lifestyle change for you anyway. Regardless of the eventual outcome you are doing a great job at keeping yourself in good shape. KOKO! (Keep on keepin' on!)
