Question about results
| Sun, 01-25-2004 - 11:07am |
I have been having recurrent yeast infections after my period for 4 months and my PCP tested my glucose level. This was not a fasting glucose, she just had the blood drawn when I came to the office in the afternoon. The result was a blood glucose of 124 whiwhc they said was slightly elevated. She is doing a A1C and I should have those results on Monday. Should I ask for a fasting glucose test? I'm not overweight, a fairly healthy eater, but heavier on the carbs than is probably recommended. I'm not as active as I used to be, but I'm not a couch potatoe either.
Thanks for your input.

Goodluck,

Hi and welcome to the board.
Your doctor probably knows what she is doing. I would think the A1C should be sufficient, b/c it is basically a 3 month report card of how your blood sugar is behaving :) Hopefully it will be in range and you won't have to worry about it. At 124 it doesn't sound like it is wildly out of control, it might mean eating a little better and exercising a little more regularly. It sounds like you are already have way there, so it doesn't sound like you need to do too much more to improve things.
I hope things turn out all right. Please keep us updated.
Take care,
Andrea
