Sure. You'll need LibreOffice. there's not many readings thus yet.
However, given some of my previous symptoms (thirst, extreme hunger, overheating) along with family history, a basic test was done. a1c=7.1 and initial fasting glucose = 161mg/dL
I'm approaching this aggressively, as I'm not sure exactly how many medical symptoms were caused/still caused by this, including mental fog during programming.
I am. The weights are also in the data. Initially at the doctor's, I was 320. And that was 2 weeks ago.
Now I'm at 314.
And also, watch out about the a1c. They are not reliable readings to use in diagnosis. Studies from last year show a very skewed weighted average from the last 3 months that generate the a1c. Also, if you have any sort of hemoglobin-modifying illness (sickle cell, others), a1c is completely inaccurate.
140mg/dL is scientifically known to kill nerve cells. Every minute above this kills stuff. The ideal healthy human's response is between 85-100mg/dL. A resting rate away from this shows dysfunction.
However, an OGTT shows if you have problems. You take a reading prior to drinking 75g glucose. One big drink. Then you test every 30 minutes until you're back to normal, which is usually 2-2.5 hours. A doc won't say it, but every minute over 140 causes cell death, and most likely lower.
For example, this is what 12 carbs did to me:
18:20 12/09/2015 test 143
18:35 12/09/2015 eat 15m
19:15 12/09/2015 test 182
19:30 12/09/2015 test 172
19:45 12/09/2015 test 168
20:00 12/09/2015 test 150
20:15 12/09/2015 test 144
20:30 12/09/2015 test 123
Following the advice of my wife (a pharmacist!), I've been on a restricted calorie diet (1300kcal) for 10 days and it seems to have worked. My resting a1c is 4.3.
I can recommend trying it - although it's not easy. The first 5 days are horrible. I only managed it because I had a stomach virus (so wasn't eating).
Pills are expensive and it's crazy to be stuck on them if you can control your glucose with diet.
