Blood Sugar and Passing Health Exam

Oh, and my A1C is less than 1 (good prostate, no deals at all).

Whoa thats high!!!! Is that FBS? Or random? Are you on anything to control it? The nurse in me is coming out. Have you experienced any side effects from having such a high BS?

This is my new usual and customary. I use Lovaza, seriously refined omega-3, 1000mg each, no mercury or fishy kickbacks, pure omega-3, at 2 ea./2x day, 4000mg a day. There are no other problems with good or bad cholesterol, BP, sitting pulse 67, etc, etc.

Just is what it is. Need a decent diet, stay away from alcohol mostly (turns to sugars too easily obviously). My Heart and artery scans a couple years ago show less than 1% plaque in any artery. So....

Just my new normal.

Its high blood pressure and sleep apnea they are worried about really

Well sleep apnea and high blood pressure are not a problem. I have good BP and sleep like a baby (wake up every two hours and cry). Seriously, they've pulled all they need for initial, but the triglycerides worry me.

Thanks.

Blood Sugar and Passing Health Exam

My personal records are such that all the major carriers, at first blush, are willing to take me in their sponsored schools. Good driving record over forever years, no convictions of any kind, no drug use, or DUI's, good employment record; I am a model-type, vanilla citizen. Boring, but a safe hire.

So, here is the quandary.

I am a healthy cat, 6'1, 190, early fifties, blood pressure 120/70, healthy, run, physically fit. No prescription meds, etc.

But some six years ago, had a pancreas issue and ultimately had my gallbladder removed (not alcohol related, just genetically predisposed, bad inherited guts). However, due to this one physical anomaly, and cholesterol, good and bad is okay, my triglycerides, blood sugar will always be abnormally high, like 500 high. I use Omega 3's to keep it from getting into the 800's.

Ultimately, will this be the one and only deterrent that will keep me from entering the career?
