My doctor's office called today with test results. I asked them what my blood sugar was. The lady (who I like a lot, she's on top of things and easy to reach) tells me not to worry about it,I'm too young to have to worry about diabetes.
*sigh*
The good news is that the lab said I was 83 and my Ultrasmart said 78, so I'm satisfied with it's accuracy. |

Why, oh why, do I find this so hysterically funny??? I'm really sorry that she's such a ditz though. It must be hard to be so clueless!

| | | Yes, I've already been diagnosed.
I don't know her personally, she's a medical assistant at my doctor's office. She's really nice and on top of things, I just thought that was funny. |
