Re: PCOS and no IR?

Actually the cut-off for diabetes is much lower than what you stated. The current ADA (American Diabetes Assoc.) levels are 126 for a fasting, and 140-something (I forget the exact number) for a random (anytime in the day).

My wound program is part of a diabetes program, and I help work the screening events. These are the numbers on the ADA forms. If someone came in with a sugar of 180, I wouldn't call them glucose intolerant. I'd call them diabetic, definitely. And, if my diabetic patient told me that his sugar was 180, I'd consider that high, even for a diabetic.

I just don't want anyone to not get treatment thinking they aren't diabetic when they may be, based on their blood sugar level.
