High Fasting Glucose Level

OK, thanks. I also freeze bananas...but I just toss 'em into the freezer in the peel. The peel will blacken but the banana keeps just fine to use in a smoothie.

That's a good idea. I peel them, slice them, and put them on a tray until they freeze, then put them in a plastic bag.

Just to add.. I take "Designer Whey Protein" (strawberry flavor) Al mentions, and it tastes very good IMHO.

Update...my bloodwork this week returned an A1C of 5.4!!! WOOHOOOO. This glycemic load thing is working.

Would a steroid shot make a normal persons blood sugar go way up? I have always wondered that. Also just what is normal? oldtrig

I would just ask your doctor. While I certainly would use the net to get some information, when it comes to my personal health, I go to my “health partner” (my PCP).

Of course, that’s only me…

Not sure what my doctor would tell me. My blood sugar spiked high 30 years ago and I am not diabetic. At least that what they tell me. The only way I would know if a normal person blood sugar went high after the shot is ask. That is why I posted. Also I doubt a normal person would ever test blood sugar after a steroid shot so I guess my question could never be answered. . oldtrig

I don't know about the steroid shot, but What is a Normal Blood Sugar? The site Blood Sugar 101 has way more than you ever wanted to know about blood sugar.

You can ask your steroid question over at Diabetes Forums - Home and I can guarantee you'll get an answer. Probably 3 or 4 different ones.
