Hi Phil,

I'm praying for you. I hope they don't have to do any kind of a 
glucose tollerence test. I've never had one done.

Now, they usually do the H1C known as the Hemoglovin A1C test. That 
gives them a 3 month report of your blood sugar readings, and I guess 
it gives them an average of what your blood sugar has been the past 3 months.

Sandy can tell you more about that. There is another thing that they 
test for, and that is LDH. I think that is what it is called

Know that I'm praying for you, Phil. Please don't hesitate to call 
us,if you want to talk.

Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
