Diabetes

There's an A1C test that will give you a three month average of your blood sugar. It's a pretty good way to find out if your diabetic. Does your doctor have one of those scheduled?

When my husband had his tested for the first time the doctor came in and congratulated him on being the highest person they'd ever tested. He was at 13 which is averaging 300-400. That's very high!

Yes, it is scheduled for the 9th of June.
I had a stopped up ear and you can't believe what they DUG out of it and it hurt. Never had problems like that, it was a wax build-up. They didn't tell me what to do to prevent it, guess I will do some googling.

Donna, i hope your test come back good, or that you can at least controll it with diet &/or pills and not have to use the injections. Good luck!!

My mom's sugar runs very high also, sometimes not even reading on the meter, she does have trouble sticking with her diet (she loves her chocolate) but she also takes prednizone (sp) wich makes it run high and is part of the reason she became diabetic, she has been on the prednizone for at least 6 yrs and will probably be on it the rest of her life.

My Mother had the same thing Lynne, also from prednisone. I don't remember if she took anything or regulated her food intake.

Donna, I hope you come up negative for diabetes!
