donhoop re: diabetes anyone? don, haven't read all this thread yet but regarding your question whether your readings are high or not. From what I understand about "normal" reading on lab results, the normal range is established by each individual lab by doing tests on a large number of "normal" people and from those results establishing the "normal" range. Thus the "normal" range could easily vary between different areas and perhaps different peoples, but I gues they end up with a median somewhere. However, just because the readings of one individual may be outside that range doesn't neccessarily mean there is a problem, they may be normal for him.
