That link disappears, and reappears...that I gave before.
It comes from Europe. This is the second time the link failed...
they must have moved it.
I'll have to find it again...sorry.
The A1C is a better predictor over time... Do you know your current A1C?
Let me think about this, in the meantime.
Stress, stimulates the adrenals, and they make cortisol which will elevate sugars. Infections also elevate sugars. So does physical activity. |
Thank you Mrs.D for your usual quick reply.
My last AIC (as of Oct 2012) was 5.6. The endoc was not concerned abouot it. However, I have blood works done to monitor the effects of my medication every 2 weeks and the the glucose serum is part of the test. I take the test randomly e.g. with fasting or 1 hour or 2 , 3 hours after meal. The fasting blood sugar is good but all the tests after meal is always high. So, I decided to get a glucometer yesterday to monitor my blood sugar at home. I will make a graph to show to my endocrinologist. I read that Vitamins E and C affect the result of the AIC test. I wonder how many days should I stop taking them before the AIc test. I will take the test this coming Thursday.
Stress? Oh, I have plenty of that lately...I am trying consciouslyh ard to remove the stress but I just could not shake it up. I did not realize that infection can elevate the sugar? Could this be one factor why my s ugar is elevated?
