I called soon after this date in October and the soonest I could get an

Is this like the gasoline shortage or the children's pain/flu medicine

I sent my doctor a message, through the portal, about 6PM, and he
replied just before midnight!! And his answer was interesting because
he doesn't go by the glucose number: HgbA1C is related though,
representing an average glucose over the preceding 2 or 3 months. The
good and bad numeric values are on a very different scale.

He said:
In reference to diabetes, you have had pre-diabetes for several years.
[which I checked again and really is based only on the glucose number]

However, in October 2020, your HgbA1C increased to 6.6 (diabetes is
defined by HgbA1C >6.5). So, by definition, you did just barely creep
into the diabetic range. I know that I had mentioned that you had to
watch calories/carbs in order to avoid medication for the sugar.

[Unfortunately for me, I just noted what he said as one more warning. If
he'd used the word diabetes, that might have scared me into action.]

Because your follow-up HgbA1C decreased to 6.0 in May 2021, I assumed
that your were watching your diet better.

[No, I wasn't.]

This placed you back in the pre-diabetes range. Thus, you have never
needed any medication for your sugar. I certainly would suggest that
you watch carbs (sweets/pasta/bread) and we will re-check your labs at
you next visit.

[I'm impressed with his detailed answer at 11:30 at night.

I've had quite a few blood tests over the years but only 5 in 6 years
have reported or measured HgBA1C. Including 2 annual checkups that did
not. I don't know how they decide when to test for it. All of them were
6 to 6.3, except that high one he refers to.]

I have blood drawn and tested every 6 months and on my last visit to the
lab, there was a new woman at the reception desk. She looked at my lab
order, got a confused look on her face, and asked me if my doctor wanted
them to test my blood for alcohol.

Without missing a beat, one of the more experienced nurses happened to
be walking by and said, "That's A One C, not A L C." She smiled and
winked at me as she kept walking.

That's great . Like the woman at the desk, I had never heard of it
either. So did you pass the alcohol test?

Micky,

I too am a T2. Diagnosed at 400 mg/DL.

Very, very few allopaths know their asses from
a hole in the ground when it comes to T2.
Some do though.

Get your ass off the Standard American Diet
(SAD) and on to the Historically Appropriate Human
Diet (A.K.A. Keto). SAD is what did this to you.

You will go through two to three weeks of
withdrawal. Guess what. You are addicted, as
was I. Drink lots of water and consume a bunch
of Pick (Himalayan) salt. I got through it,
so will you.

Did your allopath explain the addiction
and withdrawal process to you?

If you are still hungry, eat another sausage.
Please tell me you are not a vegetarian???

T2 is caused by carbohydrate toxicity. Humans
are not designed/evolved to consume such
unnatural high glycemic carbohydrates as
you get with SAD.

Or you can flip off what I am telling you and do
allopaths, drugs (controlled dosages of poisons),
all the carbs you want and play "trick the
meter". In which case the syndrome will
continue just as if you were not taking the
drugs. It will kill you on the installment
program.

I am going on nine years now and still have
all my toes. Wonder how that happened!
By the way, A2c is a piece of shit at plus
minus 50% accuracy.

Post over with these guys, they are marvelous.
They will bend over backwards to show you the
ropes.

https://www.ketogenicforums.com/c/health/t2dm

Thriving, not just surviving! You can too.

-T

If you die on me, whose knees am I going
to make jerk?! Think of what poor Ed and Bob
will have to go through without you. Do
it as a kindness to them! So no dying on me!

You just set a new record for your butchering up posts and making it falsely look
like I or someone else posted something that we did not. This BS starts off making
it look like you are responding to me and I was never even part of this thread or any
thread that I recall that was about diabetes. Nice job, you are a real piece of work.

I didn't do that at all. And it wasn't someone else; it was you.

You may not recall but the paragraph I replied to, you wrote. The one
starting "Normal fasting blood sugar is below 100, pre-diabetes is 100
to 125". If you don't recognize your own words, I can't help.

Not that I owe you an explanation, since you're just carping, but:

Like a highschool mate used to say "not enough blood in the alcihol
stream"

And btw, the main reason I posted this was that your post on the topic
seemed to show you knew something about it and I thought YOU would be
interested in my doctor's information. Ironic, huh?

I've heard a variation of that, along with "I drive better when I'm

That's exactly the problem, you start off with a long BS post replying to ME,
where I didn't write the vast majority of it, I didn't write the paragraphs that
start it off, it looks like I'm responsible for all of it. People shouldn't have to try
to wade through your BS to try to decipher who wrote what. It's only with YOUR
posts that this problem generally exists. It's just common courtesy and you've
been told this by multiple people who have complained, but you just keep it up.
You also are incapable of trimming posts.

That's nice work too, change the topic to further add to the confusion.

You don't need to see the original thread. It was about another

Then why in the hell revive some BS from months ago in a totally
confusing manner and butcher it up starting off with a reply to me?

Drive drunk; face traffic with confidence.
