Seems to me that the person you should be MOST pissed off with is yourself, for as long as you keep smoking like a chimney.

Nope, I never smoked other than trying out a few now & then, which repulsed me so much I abandoned the idea. I am observant enough to see that smokers, in addition to exuding horrible smells, are gross litterers. They think nothing of dropping butts all over the place, dumping ashtrays in the street, and generally showing themselves to be subhuman. Does the shoe fit?

I don't understand this. You clearly have a history of lab results that show you are on the border of pre-diabetes and frank DM. How can one blood test taken at random (meaningless) tell you you do not have a bg problem? In any case, the diet and exercise program for your heart will be mostly what you have to do for diabetes. I already explained the triangle (maybe on AMF, not sure where I posted it now) in one of my responses on this thread. The people here told you the same thing. I'm getting tough here, because I care about you and I think you need a wake up call--I hope you got one by having to go to the ER, the same day, you were provided information about the triad of bg, cholesterol (lipids) and pulmonary problems. IMO, you need to behave as if you did have diabetes. I don't think you know my story. And if you search for Old Al, you can find his story (he lost a leg). There are lots of anecdotal evidence that left untreated, or inadequately treated, pre-diabetes will progress to frank DM type 2 with all it's potential complications. In my case, I panicked, because when my blood work showed I was definitely pre-diabetic, I knew my feet were in trouble. Yes, that soon and before I have come close to frank DM. My toenails can grow in such a way that they make my toes bleed and get infected. I'd had 6 toenails removed, but 3 of them were growing back. I knew they were full of fungus and growing in such a way that they had to come off--they caught on everything--I couldn't cut them short enough. I had to play circumvent the system to get back to the podiatrist who had taken some of the other toes. Podiatry lost my records. My doctor looked at me like I was crazy and told me to use Lotrimin on my toes. I had an in with Endocrinology for thyroid problems. So, I went to the Endo who is taking my pre-diabetes more seriously than my PCP. He took one look at my feet and said, "I'm not touching you with a ten foot pole, until you see the Podiatrist". See, I knew where I needed to land. Thus I got my referral in a round about way. The podiatrist took the nails the same day--and it was only 3 days from Endo appointment to Podiatrist appointment--this stuff is *very* serious. >my records look like a pile of trash and they could see I been going to the >same place all my life. > The records I left with are clear and understandable and typed!

Please don't hate me for being brutally honest.
