SO TRUE.
I was visiting in Florida a couple weeks ago and for fun I check my mom's and her husbands numbers 1 hr after eating. Mind you, both are in their 70's and are always at the dr for something. Both have been checked for diabetes, both fasting and A1C and were good, moms was 5.1.
Anyway, her husbands number: 301
wow! I never saw my meter blink before!! So I looked it up and everything i read said SEE A DOCTOR.
My moms was 198. Not good.
They bought a meter.
He went to a dr while I was still there and of course the dr didnt believe it and wont until HE is the one to diagnose it. :rolleyes
The dietician told him to eat fruit, cereal, etc. in small amounts.
WHAT???
When this guy eats fruit his number soars.
I have no faith in doctors. I simply use them.
