I had a kind of similar story.
After my sister being diagnosed 5 years previously as a T1 at age 33, I was told not to worry about it and that my numbers were fine etc. So I didn't...lol
A few years later I recognized symptoms for a while and kind of knew inside, but blew it off. I did a home A1C and it was in the 10 range. Drs. said "no way" but alas it was true. I had lost 30 pounds and in retrospect am lucky I didn't end up in the hospital as it came on slowly.
Best,
