My doc says I am pre diabetic. I’m supposed to check it. They tell me to poke my finger. When I was giving blood, they poked my ear and it didn’t hurt a bit. I wondered why I couldn’t prick my ear to test for sugar too… Anybody know?
OMG J W.. You’re so GD funny, I almost laughed.

I have a daughter that has just been diagnosed w/ reactive hypoglycemia. Her white blood cell count, at the hospital, was 17,000. I was wondering how the white blood cell count & glucose level are related?

& that I need to eat some form of CARBOHYDRATE to bring it back up?

In the morning my blood sugar ranges from 85-100, but during the day when i have eaten, it’s between 70-80?
I’m not diabetic, I just test my blood sugar twice every day to make sure everything is ok with my diet and lifestyle.

i know you have to fast before undergoing a blood glucose test…but why? just curious as to the scientific reasons.

In August of 2007 (11 months ago) I purchased test strips for my One Touch glucometer. I called my insurance company to ask what they needed me to send in. I sent it. No reimbursement. I called again and they said I needed a special form. Again, I sent it in and no reimbursement. Then I was told the address was wrong. Now they are saying they have no record of my filing the claim (although they did before). I think they are trying to get me to give up. I cannot afford strips out of pocket and this is what I am paying insurance premiums for to begin with. They are supposed to cover diabetes supplies. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I go the Better Business Bureau? Should I consult a lawyer? My hemoglobin A1c keeps getting worse because I have not been able to purchase test strips without reimbursement. I feel like I have a valid lawsuit, but I am only one person going against a big corporation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am pregnant. and just took my glucose test. they said i have a somewhat high blood sugar level. could a yeast infection cause a higher blood sugar level? or could a yeast infection be caused by gestational diabetes??
