Bad news

I'm sorry to say, it is time for a doctor visit.

It won't matter much what Dad ate the night before... That is a
diabetic result. As is Mom's.

Any two morning tests of 126 or over means a diagnosis of diabetes.

I can understand being upset, but also know, that with some changes in
food and exercise, they can live long healthy diabetic lives. Better to
catch it early before much damage is done.

Oh, and if they smoke, STOP!!!

In March, I gave my parents a Life(something) blood glucose monitor as
present. I had reasons to suspect it would be a useful present. They
were putting off testing themselves until I told them on Friday that
unless they test themselves this weekend, I won;'t call them on the
phone any more.

So they tested themselves in the morning. My mom's BG was 126 and my
Dad's was 147. What a bummer. They say though, that Dad ate at around
1am the previous night. Don't know what to make out of it. I suggested
that they re-test on Tuesday morning so that Dad eats last meal at
9pm, and nothing afterwards.

I guess it is doctor visit time...
