Had a blood test done.
Doctor is trying to tell me Iām pre-diabetic.
Iām 6 feet tall and under 200 lbs.
Utter bullshit.
Were you fasted?
No - and the doctor was informed of that.

Like you said, utter bullshit.
They should have given you the non-fasting reference range then I would thinkā¦
Get a second opinion.

Good stuff all around man!
Worldās Strongest Man finals are being held an hour and a half away this weekend.
Been following the action on various internet sources.
And then I learn you didnāt need tickets to watch it on Saturday night after the first three events are over.
Fine.
Itās too damned hot in Sacramento anyway.
And I have chores on Sunday
And itās just a dumb sports show with possibly the most exciting set of competitors in years where any of them can win it.
