Wallzy41 9 Report post Posted January 19, 2017 After losing the first game of fall season 14-12, I'm now 16-1-0 in my first 17 starts as a goalie with my new team. We won fall league with 13 wins, and I'm 3-0 in Winter B league with a month long break before the next game! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So happy! a1C is measured on a 1 - 10 scale. Normal is 5.7 and below. Prediabetic is 5-7 - 6.4. Diabetic is 6.5 and up. 137 sounds like a regular blood glucose test. A 37 would be too low to be honest. I suggest you spend some more time talking to your endocrinologist and maybe taking a diabetes class if needed. Med insurance will set you up with that. I am a type2 diabetic on meds. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in Northern Ireland, we use a different scale to the USA. Those results are in mmol/mol. Our normal blood glucose tests are done in mmol/litre, and those numbers would translate to 20.6 and 6.2 roughly. I believe you multiply by 18 to get it in US units. I'm a type 1 on insulin.

Glad you are getting that under control!! I dropped from 6.4 to a 6.1 with diet and now with metformin down to 5.4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way, that should be a nice upgrade. :-) What're you you using lens-wise? I've been thinking I should dust off the photo gear and see how I could do. I expect getting exposures right is a challenge with so much white & the fast motion... Mark 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO, they aren't all that exciting of a treat (ice cream covered in chocolate is about as basic as it gets) but they do bring back memories as a kid and ice cream always puts a smile on my face! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
