This is my third D-Blog Day. So much has happened in this last year. Not much diabetes wise, but so much with my life. My family has had it tough with the economy. Some months I didn't know how we'd make it. The DOC has been generous and loving in so many ways, and I do not know if I can ever repay them for that, but I do know I will pay it forward.

I've had a wonderful opportunity to work with Gina Capone and TheDiabetesResource.com - the ULTIMATE guide. I couldn't ask for a better friend or work partner. She is like a sister to me.

Diabetes kicked me in the butt in October. I had an A1c of 8.2, this was the highest it has ever been, and let me tell you I am kicking it in the pants to get it back to the 6's!

I'm happy to say that November 2009 is looking up. November 10th - tomorrow - my husband goes back to work for the first time since February.

enough said.

The fasting blood glucose (sugar) test is the preferred way to diagnose diabetes. It is easy to perform and convenient. After the person has fasted overnight (at least 8 hours), a single sample of blood is drawn and sent to the laboratory for analysis. This can also be done accurately in a doctor's office using a glucose meter.

* Normal fasting plasma glucose levels are less than 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl).

* Fasting plasma glucose levels of more than 126 mg/dl on two or more tests on different days indicate diabetes.

* A random blood glucose test can also be used to diagnose diabetes. A blood glucose level of 200 mg/dl or higher indicates diabetes.

When fasting blood glucose stays above 100mg/dl, but in the range of 100-126mg/dl, this is known as impaired fasting glucose (IFG). While patients with IFG do not have the diagnosis of diabetes, this condition carries with it its own risks and concerns, and is addressed elsewhere.
