I'm sure it was crazy high. I had a blood sugar that was 400 something that scared me to keto. Found keto that evening googling ways to get blood sugar down. I'm sure it was high before that one test but I'm guessing not quite that high because I felt totally off and that's the first and only time I felt that way.

I have a referral to the diabetes and endocrinology center but its for diabetic teaching. Guess that's another question for my appointment Thursday.

All this stuff I'm looking at makes me feel like I'm a walking talking heart attack. Slow coronary flow sounds really bad too.

So looking at the CBC results and MPV is higher than standard range. MPV 7-11 fl 12.8 So I googled it and the first thing I found is a study on Gestational Diabetes (Not pregnant) and it says there is a connection between elevated MPV and insulin resistance. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4559623/ I don't…

I did not take a glucose test. I did not start any meds. BP has always been normal. I average under 20 total carbs a day (mostly lc veggies) had one 45 total carb day in 90 days. The meter I bought seems to run high compared to my moms and the new one the dr ordered for me. The new meter says 90's ( was told to test…

He was talking about Lisinopril for kidney protection before the lab results. This shows my kidneys are good? It's all Greek to me. haha

He was suppose to call me the same day. I'm not sure what happened or if he's even seen the results. The lab posted them. I already had a follow-up scheduled when I left that day. Glucose tolerance test is crazy right? More sugar than I eat ever? Statins scare me too.

Was arterial draw. Fasting from 9pm to 11am when blood was drawn. I wasn't expecting anything good. That's for sure. Before keto I was a mess. Only ate junk and lots of it. Starred may 12th at 362# am 290 today. The dr ordered me a blood sugar kit and it reads in the 90s. While the one I purchased reads 20 above. So not…

All tests were done fasting. 4 months keto, scared to think what they could have been before.

Thanks for all the great advice! He wants to see me again in a week. I will ask for a referral for an endo that makes a lot of sense. Haven't heard from him so no lab results yet.

My blood pressure was 110/82 btw. Not sure I want to take any bp meds. I really don't want to take any meds but I am willing to try the metformin. Thanks for your input and the welcomes. :)

This guys is a Physician's Assistant. He said Lisinopril was used to protect the kidneys. I did try to ask about insulin resistance, I really did! I also said I heard about stomach issues on Metformin and he said "that's while we'll start you on a low dose." I feel like I went in there informed and everything went…

He did test fasting finger stick. I tested at home at 137 and his test was 155 an hour later. Waiting for A1c results still. My damn phone isn't ringing! I did go in there thinking I should take metformin for a while, kinda why I went in the first place. I freaking hate going to the doctors. Thanks!

My daughter gets Bryer's Carb Smart at Walmart. http://smartlabel.breyers.com/product/2749323/nutrition

I saw it at Walmart the other day, but haven't tried it yet.
