Well another day, I recieved the results of some tests from my doctor last afternoon. My A1c test came in at 6.1 so I have retreated from the diagnosis of being diabetic that I recieved 3 1/2 years ago. My overall cholesteral is 159 with my LDL being 92 and my HDL at 37 (not high as I would like)

I also had the doctor take xrays of my back because I was having a lot of pain. Well fairly depressing news, it seems that my problem is osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition that has no treatment other than managing the pain.
