We are leaving very early Saturday morning with my parents to go to Indiana to visit my brother, sister-in-law and nieces for Easter. I know we will be eating out and maybe at the hotel or at fast food places.

All of us here have either been diagnosed with Diabetes or have someone close to us that have been given the news
So what is the "criteria" that separates us from Joe or Jane SugerEater?
Currently it is simply having an A1C, above 6.5% (47.5 mmol's in the IFCC scale) "twice in a row" measured 90 days apart
That's it, that's all - that "test" is all that is required for the Doc to determine "You have Diabetes"
