Arn't you referring to "normal" glugose level a tad high? Normal is usually around 85 after not eating overnight. Maybe what is considered OK for a diabetic is considerably higher. When people speak of a diabetic coma it is usually because their glucose is too low. Comas can happen with high glucose levels too but I routinely see diabetic 500 to 1000 and capable of driving safely to an ER. They usually throw up, have hyper sensitive hearing (normal talk sounds like shouting), and seem to feel bad all over with sweating and flu like syptoms. How about those meters recently advertised on TV that do not require lancets? Any good? Anybody heard if stemcells have a chance to turn around diabetes? What about the use of corn syrup everwhere for a sweetener? How about going back to good onld sugar cane? Not diabetic but contact quite a few in my work. Thanks ... View related article.
