It is often wise to mistrust doctors when they say thins like "normal", "OK", "fine" or whatever. If you are on the high side of any of your blood markers you need to know how high. You may be teetering on the edge of being "not OK".  When our bloods are sent off to the lab and the lab writes up the results, they highlight or star anything abnormal. Doctors just look for these highlighted ones. I also agree you should buy your own glucose meter and do regular tests to keep an eye on matters. You can also use it to help you with food choices by testing before you eat and again 90 minutes to 2 hours after first bite. A big rise tells you that meal was unsuitable for you as a diabetic. (Too many carbohydrates).</blockquote>
