My mother had some blood work up done last week and her blood sugar – non fasting was 400.
She went to a neighbor’s and tested it today and it was over 200.
She is in a typical high blood sugar mental state — in denial, etc. I told her that this was not an emergency room visit, but an immediate, go see the doctor now, especially since it’s Thursday at noon. I told her don’t wait for the doctor to call but go to the office and see the first available doctor.
I also told her that I wanted them to bring her blood sugar down immediately, and then see about diet and exercise.
I’m betting money that her doctor is going to be too conservative for my taste.
I also told her I wanted her to have an immediate A1C.
Of course, now I have a double whammy in my medical history. But at least she’s 70.
