Well, Dave, if 5.8 is not being a diabetic I don't know as much as I should.

and, yes it does run in the family. My mom told me about an uncle that had

diabetes I am a little over weight, but not by much.

Hope that will help you in some way.

RE: new treatment changes in type 2

I think the people who set these standards and make recommendations just

don't want to scare people and discourage them. They might be afraid that

if they tell people to get and stay below 6.0 they'll get so discouraged

they'll just give up. I think it's the same when articles are written about

how much exercise should be done to lose weight. People quickly hear 60 to

90 minutes a day and give up figuring they can't do it. So now only 30

minutes is recommended because it sounds more realistic.

I'm just guessing here, but this theory makes sense to me.

My doctor sent me to the lab and gave me a paper that tells the lab to test this

every 3 months. As another thing they also have to keep checking my alectro

lites because they tend to drop with no rime or reason. But I know how

important it is to check sugar every day. I don't have the stuff to do that

yet. I think I get to find out more about that after going to the diabetic

clinic. By doing this we are covered I don't know if that is how it works all

across Canada, but that is how it works in British Columbia. I don't know how

that works in the States.

Re: new treatment changes in type 2

I did not feel any different at 5.8 should I? I know when my friend

was alive she tested my blood a few times and it was down at 4.something, I

don't recall what, and I did feel a little tired, but I put it down to going

into Vancouver which I hate doing.

is now in a better place. Cancer got her in the end, not the

diabetes. They were just keeping her comfortable at the time, not worrying

about her blood sugars. She was not getting her insulin either.

Why was that I asked the nurse. Then I asked our doctor. She explained it

to me, but I still think she should have gotten a little insulin.

Then she might have felt a bit better. I don't know.

Terry,

Some doctors say you are pre-diabetic if your A1C is more than 5.5. Let us

know what they say at your diabetic clinic. When do you go for that?

Re: new treatment changes in type 2

Well, Dave, if 5.8 is not being a diabetic I don't know as much as I should.

and, yes it does run in the family. My mom told me about an uncle that had

diabetes I am a little over weight, but not by much.

Hope that will help you in some way.

Well, both the blood tests I have had in the last 2 months were 5.8 so I guess i

landed on the right list.

The doctor sent the info to the diabetic clinic and then within 2 to 4 weeks

they wil call me with an appointment date and time. So, I just have to wait for

that call.
