WEDNESDAY SUDOKU Good Health WEDNESDAY JUMBLE KEITH ROACH, M.D. DEAR DR. ROACH: From a blood test, how can I tell if I am an insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetic? For instance, what would my insulin or glucose readings have to be? Secondly, at what point would I have to start taking medications? — E. ANSWER: Diabetes is diagnosed with any of the following: hemoglobin A1c of 6.5 percent or higher; fasting blood sugar of 126 or higher; blood sugar during a glucose tolerance test of 200 or greater at two hours; or random glucose of 200 or greater in someone with classic symptoms. In Type 1 diabetes, insulin levels are very low, while in Type 2 they are normal or high. Not everybody with diabetes needs medication. Many people with Type 2 diabetes can be well-controlled just with dietary modification and often weight loss, and almost everybody with diabetes can improve with a better diet. Medica- tions usually are given if the A1c is much greater than 7 percent and if diet, exercise and weight loss efforts have been so far inadequate. In addition, medication often can be stopped with better control through lifestyle. Insulin-dependent Type 2 means just that — insulin is being used, along with lifestyle and often non-insulin medica- Answer in this Sunday’s edition of the Tri-County Times tions.
