Because of different definitions for Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus is **not** correctly diagnosed by either
label or symptom cluster.

Instead, it is diagnosed by objective evidence of abnormal fasting
blood glucose and/or abnormal glucose tolerance test and/or abnormal
glycosylated hemoglobin (HgbA1c).

Be hungrier, which truly is healthier for the heart, soul, and mind:

Yes:

Those of us who are physicians have been called to serve
professionally as medical advisors for our patients. When service in
this capacity is not satisfactory from a patient's perspective, it is
reasonable for you, the patient, to seek a second opinion as you have
done.

Being right glorifies the LORD because He is the Source of all true
righteousness.

All glory to GOD :-) Shalom :-)

May GOD give you, neighbor, a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel
11:19-20 and 36:26) so that you would be born again of water and
Spirit (John 3:3 and 3:5) so that you would come to trust the truth,
Who is Jesus:

You have been given the right answer to your question.

The right answer remains the good answer even though you do not like
the answer.

The true definition of good is that which GOD wants.

May GOD give you, neighbor, a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel
11:19-20 and 36:26) so that you would be born again of water and
Spirit (John 3:3 and 3:5) so that you would come to trust the truth,

Who is Jesus.
