I have been away for a little while but glad to be back and read some good threads.
I emailed my doctor asking for a cholesterol check as I have had to modify my diet after FBS came out on the border of normal in July. He instead ordered an FBS and said that he sees no medical indication to check my cholesterol as it was perfectly normal six months ago. Is there any reason to go waste my blood on a doctor’s office for an FBS test at this point? I have a home monitor. My FBS is now in the low 90’s. When I first got the Pre-D diagnosis, it was generally in the low 100’s. My A1c was 5.6% in August. It came out exactly the same (5.6%) on December 14 (both using ReliOn from Walmart). Should it have dropped a little bit given I lost a few pounds (although my weight was a non issue in the first place) and lowered my FBS?
