Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hi again RH those letters of Hba1C or whatever I have noticed are always on my blood print outs, Uk does it as a routine screen in most general Endo. clinics anyway... mine are totally normal as are the glucose fasting and non-fasting (fasting was a 48 hour one for endoscopy and colonoscopy which they said was perfect testing time )..that is why I wondered if there was another test used in mito for diabetes because I don't know anything at all on that subject and assumed that my Doc had done all the right tests but Janets post slightly worried me that is all.. LOL we all do have fun here with the different names/language etc with mito.
