I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2018. Had my HBA1C tested every 3 months since then as fasting bloods were high a few times.
During the summer I began to feel unwell, despite healthy eating and daily exercise (cardio/weight training/yoga) I felt constantly exhausted. Sleep 10 hours a night plus 3 - 4 hour naps in the day. Has constant dry mouth despite drinking 4-5 litres of water a day, peeing more and feeling quite nauseous.
On last HBA1C test I was told I was pre diabetes, given 500mg of metformin (which is a ridiculously low amount) and basically left to get on with it.
I felt okay for a few months but have now started to feel exactly how I did in summer, nausea, napping, dry mouth, peeing more.
I have my HBA1C tomorrow and I'm pretty positive they will tell me I am now in type 2 diabetes category.
I feel really frustrated as feel I have been left to get on with it! AIBU? Or is there really not anything else they can do? I really feel the doctors dealing with this have been incompetent and not helpful in the slightest.

AIBU?
To think my doctors have been negligent?
