Should you check your sugar even if you're not diabetic?!


Question: Should you check your sugar even if you're not diabetic!?
if you are concerned with diabetic risk factors, should you start checking your blood sugar levels on your own!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If you have the genetics for maybe getting diabetes like my daughters do, you might get a little throw away glucometer like the SideKick sold at Walgreens!. The strips in it are good for like 90 days rather than the month others are!.

Testing once in a while is good for some potential diabetics to make sure they don't get the problems of having the glucose over 300 for several years!. Then it causes some problems you can't reverse!.

My daughters check their glucose levels about once a week, one morning fasting to see where they are!. They don't want this to escalate to having to take insulin like their grandmother and I do!. They have also gone to very low carb food plan and increased their exercise levels!.

Fuel prices have forced them both to get the bikes out to go to work on, so this helps them stay slimmer than if they were taking their cars!. Very good exercise too!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

be open and honest with your docs about your concerns!. they'll give you the test(s) and depending on the results they will let you know how you stand!. most people are ok with checking once a year!. If you start to move into the "pre" diabetic area, then you can worry about changing your behavior patterns!.

just a thought!.
