Randomly, all tests are about as much higher than what corresponded with HbAlc 6.5 as the HbAlc suggests, 5.x after work rather than 4.x etc. > Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia I always appreciate your commments Alan, even though I don't always like them ... in this context one needs the comments one doesn't like, thanks for nagging ...

The white brethren indeed dislike the internet .... it undermines their information monopoly. They have even made survey(s) showing that patients with internet information use to them appear as feeling more sick than patients without. Kind regards Peter Larsen

Alan is one of my favorite people on the *.diabetes.com groups. Even when he sees from one of my posts that my behavior is killing me, the harshest he's said was, "Good luck!" -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families! I've known US vets who served as far back as the Spanish American War. They are all my heroes! Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops. You are not forgotten. Thanks ! ! ~Semper Fi~
