What I use for hpoglycemic episodes.

March 2008 Blood Test

Two (2) Hour Post-Prandial Bloog Glucose Levels:
125.47 mg./dl (6.90 mmo/l.)

Jan. 2008 Blood Sugar Tests

Very Good A1C results (5.7%) considering that this includes the Christmas Holidays when I relaxed my control just a little bit. This 90-day period is also when I began to take Chromium supplements on a regular basis alongside the 3x a day Metformin tabs. Compare this period with results of previous A1C (6%) when I just took Cinammon tablets. The Chromium appears to be working.

Kidney Health

Are My Kidneys Healthy?

Q: I have had diabetes for many years and have no known complications. I understand kidney disease does not have symptoms until much later stages. What is the best way to know if my kidneys are truly healthy?

A: You are correct that kidney disease is often silent and does not have symptoms until significant damage has occurred. The American Diabetes Association recommends that people with diabetes have two specific tests done each year to determine the health of their kidneys. The first test, microalbuminuria, determines if small amounts of a protein called albumin are present in the urine. The other test, estimated GFR (glomerular filtration rate), provides another important indicator of kidney health and is essential for all individuals with diabetes to have done as well.
