Yes, something else could have caused it. It, at the very least, requires follow up, and I hope he gets that. I'm mostly bothered by the way the doctor said it. Good grief. My blood sugar was 175 when I was diagnosed, and I obviously had more than a "touch of something." I wish people wouldn't equate non-dramatically high blood sugars with nothing serious, or place varying degress on a disease that is always serious.
As far as something being on his finger- no, we used alcohol, then blot off the first drop. |
