Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / January 2004Insulin Resistance - Prediabetes info sources
I know someone who has an A1c of over 9 - doc says ok till it hits 10. Most of the references I have checked out go straight into T2. Got gretchen becker's prevention book on order, but could do with some references that separate out T2 and pre-T2 - for the psychological angle. Any suggestions? -------------------- VBH Dx(17-Oct-03) : A1c 10.2 : 102Kg 15-Dec-2003 : A1c: 7.7 : 94Kg : Met 3x500 : Chol (Pending) --------------------- an A1c OVER LAB NORMALS is NOT ok at all the cut off before complications increase exponentially is 7.0 on the scale used by the DCCT the Dr in question has very very very dated information, or he has his head in the sand find an up-to-date Doctor  SignatureJoin us in the Diabetic-Talk Chatroom on UnderNet /server irc.undernet.org --- /join #Diabetic-Talk More info: http://www.diabetic-talk.org/ > I know someone who has an A1c of over 9 - doc says ok till it hits 10. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > 15-Dec-2003 : A1c: 7.7 : 94Kg : Met 3x500 : Chol (Pending) > --------------------- My initial post was misleading, partly in order to keep the question simple. However, after further conversations, the reading over 9 was not A1c - it was venous. That mistake was mine, after getting some of the many diagnostic criteria in my head muddled and making another post about my own A1c. After some checks with my meter and checking every source of diagnosis limits, I am happy that it is IGT and not T2. The "OK" part was misleading as well. You'll notice that I did not go into any detail at all on the post. The doc did go into D&E and did give some advice. Not sure on the detail, but this person is not daft and is getting info from a variety of sources anyway. I have had a good look around and found only minimal info on IGT. The problem with info sources for IGT is that the problems and treatment for IGT are pretty much the same as for T2. However, IGT is not T2 although it will become T2 unless it is dealt with. Denial is not going to be a problem in this case, but it would be an advantage from a psychologial point of view to separate the two. We all know the problems that denial can cause with T2 and IGT is effectively a warning of T2. It should be possible to reverse IGT or stop/delay the progression to T2 if it is managed correctly. However, it would be far to easy for someone with IGT to just think "I have not got diabetes, so I'm ok for now". So the question still remains: Are there any sources of info specifically on IGT apart from a single page mention on the usual main sources (mendosa, DUK, ADA, NEHL)? -------------------- VBH Dx(17-Oct-03) : A1c 10.2 : 102Kg Latest : A1c: 7.7 : 92Kg : Met 3x500 --------------------- > an A1c OVER LAB NORMALS is NOT ok at all > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > 15-Dec-2003 : A1c: 7.7 : 94Kg : Met 3x500 : Chol (Pending) > > --------------------- "VBHol" <vbhol@NOSPAMhotmail.com> wrote in > So the question still remains: Are there any sources of info specifically > on IGT apart from a single page mention on the usual main sources (mendosa, > DUK, ADA, NEHL)?
