Was there a concern about diabetes or other irregularities in your blood counts?

[Berta]

They can determine if you are a diabetic-

dont worry -even if it show consistent abnormal reading, they can treat this in time-maybe with just diet changes- dont worry but let us know what they say---

If the VA diagnoses you with diabetes (not pre-diabetes-there is no such thing) due to glucose values in abnormal range-by Blood work, HBIAC test or OGGT

and if you are an incountry Vietnam Veteran, file a claim and say you have diabetes due to Agent Orange.

If you have foot problems, sight problems, ED, heart disease, atherosclerosis, and history of ischemia (TIAs or strokes, skin disorders, oral candidiasis, HBP etc etc -all in their training letter I posted here at hadit---

put any of these conditions that you have in your claim and state they are secondary to your AO DMII.

If you have diabetes you have to treat it. If a diabetic does not take control of his or her blood sugar it will absolutely brerak you down over time. Take it from diabetic for over 10 years who did not take the steps he should have.

Folks, I have seen the light and I am now on a path to lose weight, get control of diabetes, and take better care of my self. As one of the 307,000 Vets who get 100% from the VA I want to do it for a long time.

Before 1 PM Tuesday I was a heart attack waiting to happen. I used to think my high heart rate was my panic disorder now I know it was my heart trying to pump blood through a 10% opening.

So take your test you need to know for sure. If its an A1C it will telly you what your average is for 90 days a very good test. If it higher than 5.9 you better set some medical help.

Good Luck
