Juicy... if they say yes... have them do an A1C test. This one blood test will give them and you the average of your blood sugar from the past 3 months. Average A1C is 6.5-7.0. When I was first diagnosed mine was 12.5. I take Metformin and Actos, pretty common drugs. MY A1C has run pretty consistant at 7.5-8.0 over the past year or so. It gives the doc something to yell about.

And sign up for the American Diabetes Association newsletter. It gives you lots of medical info and research that you can't find anywhere else.


Good luck precious
