What Does My Lab Test Report Indicate?
Question: I am seeking an additional opinion. These are the results from my blood tests. What do these numbers mean? What are some medical and non medical options? Are these numbers permanent or are the numbers reversible (achieve normal numbers) without medications? Both my parents have diabetes in their old age. Is it guaranteed (unavoidable) that I will suffer the same fate? Is it possible to have full life without diabetes?
