learnteachDid a fasting blood test yesterday.
Did one today (same vein.) Gotta say, the phlebotomists are better at anatomy, as well as having better equipment. I haven't had to have more than a single stick that worked in years, and they've hurt less, too. But the needles are noticably smaller as well, from what I remember 20 years ago.
Results today? All good, except
Glucose, Fasting Standard Range 60 - 99 mg/dL Your Value 130
Shit. I'm diabetic.
Starting HMR in 5 hours...(intake appointment, which is why the fasting blood sugar tests.)
EDIT: Hmm. It's dropped from the previous reading...advice from DR? Go on the diet, retest in 3 months. Also, blood fats better (HDL a little low). Moar Exercise!
