@kdfrawg For me, it was both the machine in the office and the doctor doing it manually that produced wildly different results…within the course of 15 minutes or so. ?
@kdfrawg I had the same issue at the doctor with blood pressure. Four different measurements gave me four vastly different results.
Minimal Carbs, Lots of Fat, Incredible Results, But No Science [theglobeandmail.com] — I disagree that there’s no science. It’s there if you look for it. There could always be more of it. That said, the powers that shouldn’t be prefer the status quo.
@tomas the doctor insists I get down to 5.0 before I can eliminate the drugs I'm on. ?
@kdfrawg agree but always a little frustrating when it’s not as much progress as you were thinking. That and it reinforces my usual complaints about the accuracy of blood glucose meters.
The blood test showed I had a blood glucose of 100 mg/dL. The test with my own meter? 82. ?
@jextxadore not planning to be there anytime soon. That said, I’m likely going to be in Bangkok. It’s probably doable there too.
The official A1C number from my blood test is a 5.9%, which is lower than the 6.5% I had a few months ago, but a bit higher than I was expecting based on my own blood glucose tests.
Doctor's comment: "Diabetes is improving." Not quite as much as I'd like, but it's still progress.
