I would love to! It is cold and raining here.

Dealing with doctors and vague answers here today.
Hubs had a standard test relating to his blood pressure meds........stupid person calling him with "results" was laughing on the phone when she told him his glucose reading is 564. Seriously that is NOT funny.
She didn't give him any other numbers. I know that 564 is freaking scary high.
He got ticked since she had no info except that and the stress that created. Not to mention the laughing. So not professional.
She couldn't even tell him if he needed to see his doctor. Seriously. :hmm That reading is 4X what "normal" should be. Telling someone to see their doctor should be an easy answer.

Hubs is going to go in to get a printed test results page since they cannot even e-mail or to his doctor. I told him to speak up while there and let them know how the results were giving especially the freaking laughing.

Giving someone test results should ALWAYS be done professionally. They never know how the patient will react.

Hubby is super stressed over it all and what it could mean.

I had my midwives freaking out a bit over fasting numbers between 100-110 before I started managing with diet. A number close to 600 is freaking dangerous.

Two things he can do to help without changing his diet. Drop caffeine (it makes you more glucose intolerant) and drink 60-100oz of water a day.
