| Also maybe the person is just not getting a straight answer from their Dr. My fasting bg was117. The Dr. placed the lab results in the folder and never called me. I had had a high fasting bg at a health screening a few weeks before requesting the bg test and finally called the Dr. office and asked what the results were. When the nurse told me I ask, do you not think 117 is a little high? No, was her reply. anything under 126 is not diabetic. Duh. It is pre-diabetic and I needed help. I did not need a diagnosis just advice on how to find the help I needed and a little assurance that I was not being unreasonable.
Most of the time when people come to this web site they have figured out the answer and just want assurance that they are not crazy. They don't need someone insulting them. They need encouragement to go seek the medical attention they feel they need. It does not hurt me to show a little compassion. |
