I agree with MrsD.

I would be watching those blood glucose numbers, especially 1hr post meal numbers, as that is when it spikes. Spiking numbers can cause damage to body, organs, cause PN long before a doctor ever gives you a diagnosis of diabetes.

Anytime your numbers spike above 140, damage can occur.

Doctors don't care until it's too late.

I think you accidentaly reversed your cholesterol LDL and HDL numbers, Billy.

Fried foods? There are studies coming out now showing eating fried foods increases stroke risk. This was done in Southern states that commonly have fried food more often than Northern ones.

This was done only in women for some reason, but I'd apply the warning to men as well.

Size of meals also affects blood sugar levels, so keeping meals smaller, and having good snacks in between will give you better numbers as well.

These treatment protocols change very rapidly today, many doctors may hold on to older ranges and ideas, so people receive very different responses from doctors today.

I am NOT seeing test results for the two most important vitamins involved with PN pain:

B12
Vit D

Did you have them done?

9 months ago my B-12 was 379 , Vit D 34 , copper 88. I'm being retested . for vit B-6, B-12, copper,and these are new > RPR, hemoglogin, immuno fixation, Serum Protein Electrophoresis, and another that shows how the blood clots at differant temperatures. I should know the results in a few weeks. In the past yr they done at least 30 blood test, too many to count.Also they found a problem with my blood cells when the did a nerve biopsy and i have issues with my back to boot.

My damn doctor has drawn a line in the sand at 7.0 HBA1C for any intervention. That's an average blood sugar of around 170 I believe, and I am paying dearly for it. Can't believe I bought his indifference.

Sadly most doctors are way too late to the game. It's usually out of control by the time a dr will give a diabetes diagnosis.

My moms husband gets spikes of 200 and above and the dr said since it comes back down to lower numbers in 2 hours he should just try to change his eating habits....WHAT?

Sometimes its the dang doctors that kill us. That and our stupidity to simply believe everything they say.
