i had a discussion more than once with my quack over statins. since they come with a warning not to eat citrus like grapefruit, which i love but can't have because of the statins, why don't i just eat grapefruit? Because we can't measure it properly.
I am diabetic too, which means there are different standards. last time i had it checked i was well within the boundaries for a normal person, but i am not a normal person, i am diabetic, much lower numbers required.
understand what you mean.
few years ago a friend wanted a life insurance policy requiring a blood test. he was worried about the numbers. Talked to his brother, a M.D. who told him to eat a lot of grapefruit. it worked, and it brought the numbers down from when brother had it tested.
