He really should discuss that with his doctor. <br /><br />However, one of my own symptoms when my blood glucose levels were high after meals was lethargy and drowsiness. It certainly would not hurt him to do some extra testing to see what is happening.

Take his suggestions as a minimum, not a maximum, and read my page titled "Test, Review, Adjust".<BR/><BR/>I think you'll like "Red, Red, Wine" on this page too. <BR/><BR/>Cheers, AlanAlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868809225921579099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967781860933132301.post-23201536949055032152009-01-10T09:44:00.000+11:002009-01-10T09:44:00.000+11:00I just got the call, "you are a diabetic" the nurs...I just got the call, "you are a diabetic" the nurse scared me to death. After being persistent I was able to see my doctor this morning he expained that I am at the early stages. He said on a scale of 1 to 10 I am a .50. I did the fast test and it came in a little high. I picked up my test kit this morning, I am to test my self every morning untill January the 29th, then go back for a Doctor visit. He has me signed up for an education class in a few weeks at our local hospital. I am 49 and went in for a routine, pre 50, check up. He thinks with proper diet and exercise that my diabetes will be manageable. I am 6'2" 260lbs. and amvery active. My passion is cooking, eating and enjoying family and friends. I have spend and hour or so looking at all the information you have provided. I appreciate all your hard work and your obvious concerne for other people. I am from Alabama would like to Thank you. My biggest concerne, is coming up with a meal plan and how to still be able to drink wine, beer and alcohal sociably. Any advise would be greatfull.
