//random medical advice
I am SO making a tag for this: random medical advice. I've got loads. Just wait till January!
Ahem: Did you KNOW?? that everyone over the age of 40 should have their glucose tolerance tested every 3 years? Even if you don't have risk factors for type II diabetes. My roommate knows this doctor who has type II diabetes, and eats well and is thin as a stick. Sometimes it just happens. Plus, its always a good idea to have a normal baseline. Doctor's like compairing to that kind of a thing.
So yeah: oral glucose tolerance test. Go every 3 years if you're over 40.
