I received an email from a customer recently. He's concerned because he had just been diagnosed with DIABETES. It was a surprise because he had been eating well and had never been warned about diabetes.
During a routine visit at the VA hospital his single blood test indicated a glucose level slightly above 150. That's always been considered a borderline result and suggests further study. I can't imagine that anyone - particularly a "doctor" would be so insensitive and harsh to tell a person he HAS diabetes based on one lonely blood test. Has everyone gone NUTS?!
I think we have to be very careful these days. Just think what damage an "official diagnosis" of diabetes can do to a personj. It doesn't just affect the patient! How about employers and insurance companies - to mention just a couple? It seems a market is opening where people can have their lab work done anonamously. I sure wouldn't want my insurance company to know about a diagnosis that was made in such a shoddy manner. How about you? More...
