Went to doctor. Had blood work done. Showed that I had high blood sugar. Doctor did an in-house A1C test and result was 14, which is off the charts.
I bought a tester where you prick finger and apply blood to test strip, and get a read out. My levels are alarming, and have me worried.
Results are: 256 | 241 | 221 | 261 | 384 | 264 | 394 (Damn it man seem like I'd be dead at these levels)
I did not dream that I might be diabetic so I know nothing about how to deal with this. I do understand that my levels are dangerously high, but I don't even know what that means.
Anyone have these kind of issue. What are you doing to deal with it.
P.S. I suspect this has been going on for a while and I just did not recognize symptoms, until I finally realized I was losing a lot of weight. I was 6'3 221 prior Dr. visit, now last visit I'm 194 lbs. Always been healthy.
Usually after a workout I drink a large glass of milk with a scoop of whey power. This is high in protein.
Is this okay to consume of off-limits.
I've not heard anything negative about Whey, milk turns into glucose pretty quickly. You may want to see if you can wean yourself off of the milk and use water instead. The protein after a workout is key so keep that up. Track your protein grams for a week or so and see where you are at.
Will do and thanks
