Borderline and monitoring the symptoms.

[Holly_Hobby]

4. Buy a meter...

Test upon waking, before eating, one and two hours after eating. Keep records.

I can recommend what I find to the be the most accurate and cheapest meter and test strips, I've tried them all.

Meter: $10

Do not buy Relion from Walmart, extremely inaccurate.

I'm not a doctor, but, keep records and shove them in your doctor's face if you go over 140 after you eat. Your awaking reading should also be under 100. True normal is more like 125 after eating.

If you're borderline, you don't need meds or insulin. It can be controlled with diet and a bit of exercise. I did it, many many others have done it.

You can also DEMAND an a1c on the grounds of genetics. Doctors usually won't refuse if you tell them you won't take no for an answer. Doctors also think diabetes is well controlled when it's not. The only way to control and stop the dangerous side effects of diabetes is to keep your a1C below 6.

Read "Diabetes Solution" by Dr. Bernstein: This book literally saved my life.
