Having said that, I think your numbers look generally good and your doctor's advice appears to be sound.<br /><br />Keep in mind that, for most people, each weight training session would lead to a BG elevation - not much unlike a meal with carbs:<br /><br />http://healthcorrelator.blogspot.com/2010/07/our-bodys-priority-is-preventing.html<br /><br />Given this, going from 6 to, say, 3 weight training sessions (30 minutes or so each) per week would probably lower the A1C for most people.<br /><br />My point is that exercise in moderation would probably make one insulin sensitive without raising BG levels as much as athlete-level exercise.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-41566504359023784742018-04-05T10:55:42.802-07:002018-04-05T10:55:42.802-07:00HI

I am 63 years old and I am 6'2 and weigh roughly 200 pounds. I just had my routine medical checkup and everything seemed fine, except for my FBG, which was 126. My AC1 was 6.0 Choles HDL: 57 LDL: 130 Tris : 93 BP 120/80 I have averaged around 115 on a fasting blood glucose for these 15 years. I also take my own BG from time to time. It is always between 90-100 2 hours after meals. My question is this: Am I still considered a pre-diabetic or a diabetic? My doctor said it is not necessary for medication, just to stay on the diet and exercise program. By the way, I exercise 6 times per week w/ weight training and walking 30 miles a week. I also must confess that I become very very stressed at taking these blood tests, especially for glucose levels. Can you help me out?

When I get one, it's in the morning before I eat anything. I leave the house and drive in traffic for about 15 minutes and then walk in and wait another 10 or 15 minutes before I get my blood taken. During that time, I guess the cortisol caused my blood sugar to go up, perhaps from the mild stress of driving. <br /><br />I experimented once where my BS reading at home was 96. Then when I got to the lab, I took my own reading again, and it said 116. Even though I hadn't eaten anything yet. And of course the lab showed something like 120 when I got the results back later. I guess my point is, these lab numbers all have a context to them. Am I really pre-diabetic, or is it a cortisol issue?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-82726828742865535732015-03-13T07:33:23.756-07:002015-03-13T07:33:23.756-07:00Spam above deleted.Spam above deleted.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-65681255649436285782015-03-12T21:01:10.520-07:002015-03-12T21:01:10.520-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-82197638151821945842015-03-09T08:49:04.073-07:002015-03-09T08:49:04.073-07:00Spam comments above deleted.Spam comments above deleted.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-1790948978568114352015-03-08T22:12:26.692-07:002015-03-08T22:12:26.692-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-9368484215365673502015-03-03T11:27:05.368-08:002015-03-03T11:27:05.368-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514083745497049385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-22896209075829416882015-02-26T22:53:03.423-08:002015-02-26T22:53:03.423-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701173041666870571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-87628436819180281792015-02-25T17:17:20.876-08:002015-02-25T17:17:20.876-08:00Thanks David.
