Many are doing very well. Some have gone through periods of slacking off on control, but typically they get back on it. It is far more normal to oscillate between great control and sloppiness than it is to be perfect all the time. <br /><br />I have yet to meet anyone, anywhere who has been in any of the large Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-53254552827695038172013-09-28T23:56:01.320-04:002013-09-28T23:56:01.320-04:00Jenny,

Did many of them "fall off the wagon"? If not, and they attained the <6% scores with diet + exercise, or diet + exercise + metformin, are they included in studies of people with diabetes?Axle Ottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472133394710234309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-54958255976779469972013-09-28T09:05:51.149-04:002013-09-28T09:05:51.149-04:00I believe the albumen/creatine ratio they refer to...I believe the albumen/creatine ratio they refer to is only from the urine test. The values from the serum test are used to calculate the GFR which is also predictive of kidney disease but not as accurate as the urine test. In any event, the kidney function tests were not highly predictive, though it makes sense that if the vasculature in your kidneys was going bad, it would be likely that your Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-1613730032870414422013-09-28T08:08:35.214-04:002013-09-28T08:08:35.214-04:00"The microalbumen:creatinine ratio, a measure..."The microalbumen:creatinine ratio, a measure of kidney function, " my recent blood work measures serum creatinine and serum albumin. can i use these values to calculate a microalbumen:creatinine ratio? also, i read the 'eGFR' value was most predictive of kidney function. is that true?v/vmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862544306715636777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-86424103606315247832009-04-23T20:00:00.000-04:002009-04-23T20:00:00.000-04:00A few days ago I attended a diabetes seminar for p...A few days ago I attended a diabetes seminar for professionals. I was disappointed about what was stressed - statins for high cholesterol and low fat diet for high triglycerides and cholesterol.
