BS 330
BS 350 Last Week Blood Draw

Today I was diagnosed with diabetes.
My fasting blood sugar was 350 from labs taken a week prior. The doctor did a finger stick blood sugar reading in the office and verified that my blood sugar was still in the 300 range. My history had always been below 90, so it was a complete surprise to both of us.

I wanted to cry, but was in a state of shock and almost shut down. Hard to pay attention because I was processing the news.

I need to pick up a sugar lowering drug called Metformin. 2 pills with evening meal - always with a meal because it lowers blood sugar and food tempers the result. Also because Metformin causes diarrhea and gas.

Dr. says this can be reversed with proper diet, exercise and weight loss.

I am supposed to do a finger stick blood sugar reading 2-3 times/week, and come back in one month.
