Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007I ain't lyin, doc, really
Perhaps my doctor thinks I'm lying. It suddenly dawned on me why my own fbg testing shows an acceptable (and remaining consistent) improvement while the lab tests don't (so much). At home - I eat, go to bed, wake up 8 hours later and test... down from 120-130 a year ago to a consistent 95-99 now. At lab - I eat, go to bed, wake up 8 hours later, fool around getting ready to go, drive to lab and by the time blood is actually being drawn it has been 10-11 hour from bite to stick. Test shows 115-120... liver dumping, right? John (....

"suddenly "dawned" on me.... hehe - aren't I clever?) Sounds like it could be that, John.... Maybe you ought to try for an earlier appointment. When do you go in? I normally go in around 8:00 A.M. when I have blood drawn.

"suddenly "dawned" on me.... hehe - aren't I clever?) I dad a similar occurance John and my doc was not all that disturbed by my similar numbers. In my case It was after 4:00 p.m., I had fasted nearly 18 hours. I told my doc I was drinking black coffee all day long and he did not care. I have to go get an a1c blood draw and he told me not to worry about fasting. > Perhaps my doctor thinks I'm lying.

I've been consistently testing in the mornings before lab and it's typically 1-2 hours before my blood is drawn, and the score is consistently 10 points higher in the lab than in my meter test. I was told that was typical. |
