Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Non-diabetics BG does go up when they eat, but it is down in the normal range two or three hours after eating.

Others seem to disagree. ialso posted a question about my children spiking 200 and more, that noone has responded to. IM quite disappointed that everyone can post to tell me how wrong me and my doctor are, but noone can give me their opinion on something so important to me.

WASHINGTON, June 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In a recent national survey of physicians, more than 90 percent of the country's primary care doctors could not correctly name the top three tests that a person with diabetes should have on a regular basis -- tests that could save their lives, experts say. More than 90 percent of American's with diabetes receive their medical care from primary care doctors, rather than diabetes specialists. -- Dave - 1:14:48 PM T2 - 8/98 Glucophage, U & H A 4th generation Diabetic - Davors Daily Aphorism: I try to make everyone's day a little more surreal. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's more of the same article: In the survey commissioned by Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., one of the country's leading centers for diabetes treatment, nearly all of the physicians correctly named " hemoglobin A-1-c " as one of the most important tests for diabetic patients. However, only 24 percent mentioned cholesterol and just five percent named blood pressure These three tests have been identified by the National Diabetes Education Program as the most important in managing diabetes and reducing the risk of deadly complications. > > Re: Spike > > lizzbeth97@... wrote: > > > > In a message dated 6/23/2001 12:22:54 PM Central Daylight Time, > > resmith315@... writes: > > > > > Really??

I'll guarantee you though that there are many diabetics out there in non-computer land that don't have a clue about what carbs do. Here, just take this pill and cut back on your sugar... Geesh.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Carol, there are at least 2 tests for average BG. One is 4-6 weeks, it seems to be cheaper. The HbA1c is still 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
