My pcp told me two weeks ago, everything was okay except my cholesterol was quite high. Yesterday I go to my therapist that had ordered the blood work and she said my glucose was high. After a 12 hours fast my glucose was 104 (I guess normal is 74-106) She said if it was that high after a fast that during the day it probably is spiking very high and is known as pre-diabetic. Anyone have this or can tell me anything about it. also my cholesterol was 285, trig 210, hdl 57, ldl 186. Will these numbers help or hurt getting me approved. I would say these are both comobities.

I had a glucose tolerance test a couple years ago and scored one point (lol, like a sports game) above the borderline diabetic line. 120-something. I don't remember.

When I had my appointment the other day and just had a finger prick in the office (not fasting, but hadn't eaten in about 4 hours), it was like 82.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
