rkeech made some good points, but it there still is a good chance you may have Type 1 diabetes.

If you are still in a fairly early stage, your blood sugar may be quite high, but you are not at the point of coma...yet. But that is a very fine theashhold. Onset can range from days in very small babies to months in adults. And anything in between for all ages.

I would call your doctor ASAP first thing tomorrow morning and get your test results. Your doctor also should have done a fingerstick screen in his office. If abnormally very high, you likely have diabetes. There is no reason not to do a fingerstick upon suspecting Type 1 diabetes. It is a simple, easy, quick, and cheap test. In fact, you can even buy your own meter and check at home. If your doctor has not done this, demand it tomorrow.

You may or may not have Type 1 diabetes. But I find it disturbing that a doctor should think it's acceptable to let a patient fall into a potentially life-threatening coma before diagnosing them.

And that has happened. There have been multiple cases where people with Type 1 diabetes were tested, and it took days to a week to get their results back to them. Sadly, many of those people ended up in a coma and/or DIED.

Type 1 diabetes can be a slower onset form in adults called LADA, but that does not mean an adult or teen cannot have an acute onset case. There is NO excuse for your doctor not doing a fingerstick check in the office.

Please follow up on this first thing in the morning. This is your life. You may or may not have Type 1 diabetes, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Best wishes.
