Testing my Glucose levels for a week

[tommymac]

Should i just let you guys go back on forth on all this and be wrong, nahh I actualy like you guys so I will interject.

First off there ARE other blood tests to help determine if you are indeed diabetic, a few glucose readings wont necessarily tell you much, although it may. If youre peeing a lot and are always thirsty, those are hallmark signs of early diabeties.

However some of the other stuff you mention can be other problems, with the thyroid being the first I can think of if you have a super high metabolism.

I would suggest getting checked and have them do a whole bunch o blood tests so they can rule some things in or out.

I am skimming and skipping since I should be working right now LOL I wasnt sure if you mentioned the thyroid or not, thats why I wanted to bring that up.

When I got my bloodwork done this year they told me it cost about $50 per test through Quest (I have shitty health insurance now so they only cover so much).

Tommy won't a HA1C test be helpful in diagnosing diabetes?

Oh if you need a prostate test, I learned how to do it on a video but of course we couldn't practice on our classmates so I can always practice on you, if you need a test. My interpretation of the results may not be accurate though

I know I will, not sure if Rangerscott will

Favorite line of the instruction video "Can you tighten your anus around my finger please?"

Lube that glove up honey. I'm on my way.


We have a AnyLabTest place here. Wonder if they're any good.

We have a winner the a1c is what i was thinking of. I think some tests only cost pennies or dollars where as others are mega expensive. too bad he wasnt near by I could have helped him out on all that stuff

And at 25 there SHOULDNT be any prostate problems but if you guys want to put your fingers in his but I wont stop you
