3 hr Gluc Tol Test Results?
| Thu, 10-25-2007 - 6:03pm |
Ok. In February - my result aft 3 hours was over 160 ---- I'd been very sedentary & tired prior to this.
I tried to exercise a bit more after that, tho I've not been able to lose a single pound - I'm slightly overweight, but not by much.
In JULY - my result aft 3 hours was 132.
What do you think? Might my scores continue to improve if I DO lose some weight & try to get even more active than I've been since the 160+ in Feb???
But I don't understand - If I already HAVE diabetes - I shouldn't get any better, right????? b/c the "cells" do not renew.
My doc tells me it's Pre --- which conceivably can get better - b/c it's not yet killing "cells" permanently? Doesn't Pre mean the panc. is just starting to delay & have trouble?

Not necessarily. I think Mary Frances found a statistic from some study that said up to 40% of those diagnosed with prediabetes CAN actually avoid getting it.
That's a good point about the dog!
Haven't walked him in ages -tho my dds have!
Snickers, my sheltie, appreciates your input!!!!!
BUT- do you think 132 is still prediab?????
I HATE exercising!!!!! but perhaps my walking I've done since Feb brought it from 160 + after 3 hour to 132 after 3 hour???
is this for the rest of my life >>>>>>> :( it does not run in my family!!!!!
if the 132 was within a few ours of eating, that could still be prediabetes.
The 132 was 2 hours after the orange glucose drink -
Prior to that I was 91 - upon waking up!
I honestly don't know about the test results of the glucose tolerance test...
Thank you -
My doc says I'm just "Pre" - don't worry. But I worry.
Esp b/c I've had others with various sources say I am way already there.
BUT - according to the ADA - 132 is still ok, but high. So that's encouraging. I just don't feel ok about it. I am trying to be more active, however, & have recently begun with a personal trainer. I HATE exercising -but I really think my weight - 153 at 5'6" is a big factor. I just don't seem to be able to lose any!!! :(
