MY BLOOD SUGAR!

Karla the new range for the blood sugar level are now 70 to 110.  I knew that  the level had recently been changed and so has hypertension range.

Oops!  Looks like we are both wrong via the Mayo clinic.  mayoclinic.com

What's normal?
A normal range is 70 to 100 milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood (mg/dL) or 3.9 to 5.6 millimoles per liter (mmol/L).

What level suggests prediabetes?
A level of 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) indicates impaired fasting glucose — commonly known as prediabetes. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may repeat the fasting blood sugar test several days to a week later.

What level suggests type 1 or type 2 diabetes?
A level of 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher is consistent with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may repeat the fasting blood sugar test on another day. If your test results are 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher twice in a row after at least eight hours of fasting, you may have diabetes. Further testing may be needed to determine whether you have type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

Sorry Karla for my misunderstanding and not knowing the levels had changed.   You know I would never lie intentionaly.  Love ya!

I am only harping on you because I get harped on everytime I go to the doctor reminding me how easily one can slip back and the huge dangerous side effects of diabetes.  My harping was an effort to motivate you to take care of yourself.  Prayer is a good adjunct, but personal responsibility is very important with diabetes, if you want to see your grandchildren...or possibly a new child of yours and Lucy's.   You don't want Lucy to be a widow so soon after marrying.

I appreciate your harping cause I know ya love me!    I agree 100% and who knows what is going to happen in the NEAR future!

I knew that the values had changed but did not know that they had changed again since the last time that I attended some CE.  My doctor just jumped my case about my blood pressure. He also said that those values had been lowered. Normal is now 110/70. Learn something new everday.

I know I learn something everyday.  That's what makes us great though....when we are willing to learn. 

See you on the big boat!

I am so ready for that big boat. After this latest cold spell I need me some warm weather. Those 2 days we have at sea I will be on the top deck in a lounge chair baking in me some sun.

I'm glad your blood sugar is doing better. I probably missed it if you posted but did you see your doctor about your recent HIGH. If so, what did he say?
