Be checked: Your profile more closely fits Type 1, however be seen and tested by your doctor for any confirmation. All the best.

Borderline: The blood sugar levels are in the impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or borderline range. Since the situation can progress to diabetes further testing by a specialist is advised so that the diabetes type can be diagnosed and treated before it gets worse. For this age type 1, type 2 (although less likely when non-obese) and more rarely a genetic defect in insulin secretion are possible
