| That big, fat green smilie face after jacobsam's post means that he is joking about losing weight by driving his BGs to 350, then starving himself while nonetheless gorging himself. The real smilie he should have used there would be the one showing a grey faced with blood spurting into his brain as he has a stoke and dies.
Misty, the single random BG does have some legitimacy for screening for diabetes. For example, nobody should randomly test at 352 no matter how much, when or what they ate. That was the number I came up with on a finger prick when I reported to my doctor's office explaining why I wanted to be tested for diabetes. However with your history of gestational diabetes and your ongoing problems, I surely think you deserve an A1C test and perhaps a glucose tolerance test. I have no doubt that my doctor would test you further. |
