Mare: It's my understanding that the A1c is for mainly diabetes monitoring. It is not a diagnostic tool. The glucose tolerance test is the diagnostic tool by presedence(sp?). The 2 hour post-porandial is a screening test. Just was wondering where you heard the A1c was a diagnostic tool...?
Thanks. Hope you're doing well Sue.

well when i was diagnosed with CFRD...it came about when I got ketoacidosis...which is when ur glucose (blood sugar level) gets so hi that ur muscles start braking down and u practically go into a coma.....so anyway when I wouldnt wake up for like 3 days straight my dad took me to the ER and my glucose was 700...scary I know...I was near death....so really 182 isnt terribly bad....it could have been right after u ate...What im tryin to say is I wouldnt stary worrying about CFRD until ur sugars are at least in the mid two hundred or higher. and gaining weight is something that def does not happen when u ur blood sugars r to high...in fact u start losing it quicker than ever. If someday u do Get CFRD....they have different alternatives to controll it other than needles...they have pill form glucose controllers and a pump now that is like an IV that u would wear all the time so u wouldnt have to poke urself....its like the size of a pager...so I hope Ive been some help to...and i hope everything is well...DAN <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
