A few days ago I went to the doctor’s office and they did blood work. They just called and said that I need to come in and have a “HAIL” test done to see if I am diabetic. My blood sugar level was 121.
“…Fasting blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken after you fast for at least eight hours or overnight. With this test, a blood sugar level lower than 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is normal. A blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL is considered prediabetes. This is sometimes referred to as impaired fasting glucose (IFG). A blood sugar level of 126 mg/dL or higher may indicate diabetes…”
I just found the above on the Internet. I feel a bit better.
OK it is close to the 126 level but hell it was 121. I am not sure I am going to get in and have a special test done right away. I AM going to cut down on my sugar intake big time. It will be hard but I am going to start making an effort today.
I do not want diabetes. I have seen how bad it is and the problems that people have that have diabetes.
