If you are a regular reader here you might remember when I wrote about how I had gotten a bad A1c hemoglobin glycosylation blood test (6.2) putting me into the diabetic range.
It was scary and all this time I actually thought I was being considered “pre-diabetic” but in truth my doc viewed me as diabetic. He wanted to give me a chance to modify my diet and habits to get the number down before we tried meds.
I did, as you know. I have been doing my best to eat low glycemic foods and its been painless but I have not been a saint by any means!
Just for reference, a test result below 6.0 = not diabetic.
I was also registering a high blood pressure at the previous visit (something freaky like 140/110 I think, very weird for me).
