*Sigh*

I'm so use to drama that this isn't really phasing me. I knew I had a 50/50 shot. When I came in the room with the results, Jake was sitting on the sofa watching TV. I said, "Well, I failed another test..." His response, "You're kidding, right?" My response, "Nope." He felt so bad...

Fasting Status: 99 NORMAL (65-99)

Glucose, 1st Hour: 263 HIGH (under 200)

Glucose, 2nd Hour: 200 HIGH (65-99)

A1C: 5.8 (HIGH NORMAL)

My glucose monitor is WAYYYYY off too! It said my fasting sugar was 112, which would have made me worse than I actually was (99). The doctor will have to order me a new one. This monitor from Ascensia is a piece of crap. Any suggestions on a good one?

The endocrinologist placed me on Metformin for the PCOS; however, Met doesn't work for Type 1 diabetes. I'm not too sure what is going to happen there...Met only works for Type 2. Unless, you can be on both Met and insulin shots??? The idea of insulin shots is new to me; however, my sister has been on shots since she was 12.

We'll see what the doctors say...I got the test results mailed to me yesterday so I'm sure the phone will be ringing today at some point. The lab sent me a copy for fasting comparison purposes only. Although, they have known me for years...

I am a little confused since I don't know your background. But, if you are being tested for CF related diabetes, it is not type 1, and it is not type 2. Although it has some similarities to both. With full blown CFRD you would need a long lasting insulin (preferred via a shot, like Lantus, since pills may not dissolve as well in the CF digestive system) and rapid acting insulin (like Humalog) for the peaks (after eating carbs).

If you are not being tested for Cystic Fibrosis related diabetes, just ignore me. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
I have a blog saltyandsweet.org that I have been posting facts about CFRD if you are interested, feel free to check it out.

i'm the same way. i just got placed on long acting insulin and fast acting (Lantus and Novalog). i thought i would hate insulin b/c of all of the shots but it really isn't that bad, and unlike taking pills where you would have to be super cautious as to what you eat, with insulin you can eat whatever you like b/c you fine tune the insulin to your meal! which is good for those out there like myself who LOVE food <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

good luck with it!
