How to use a HbA1c test kit for Diabetes
I got my blood drawn for a diabetes test and, like always, they took a lot. Well, it’s been a day and there’s a prominentblack and blue mark around the area plus the vein next to it is much more visible (my veins normally aren’t because I have darker skin)
Is this normal? Should I ice it?
It’s also still painful and even itchy at times.
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930′s, 40′s, 50′s, 60′s and 70′s!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and NO ONE actually died from this. We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren’t overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day, and we were O.K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendos, X-boxes, no video games at all; no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD’s, no surround-sound or CDs, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms……. WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them! Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of them CONGRATULATIONS!
Yesterday, I went to a friends house that makes maple syrup. I LOVE maple syrup, so I was literally drinking it! I was eating pineapple and apples at the same time. A friend of mine was there that was a type 1 diabetic. He tested my blood sugar level and it was 158, is that too high?
My mom got worried and went a bought a glucose meter. so she made me check my blood sugar level this Morning and it was 137 is that high? Mind you I went to bed at 11:30 and I was eating this sugary cereal. And of course eating more maple syrup
I was tested for diabetes and do not have it. I was wondering what else can cause frequent urination besides diabetes? I have started to drink more water and I am going to the bathroom a lot and I’m hoping it’s not something serious.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
