diabetes are. I take my meds, and BP and cholesterol are controlled. I pay attention to my intake of carbs, and my last glucose number was 89--no treatment required.
If I schedule this (and it takes about 3 months in my area), I will be 69 years old by the time I have the colonoscopy. This is the last one I will have, and the medical community doesn't push colonoscopies after 75 if you aren't high risk.
I may very well just do fecal occult blood tests and Cologuard if I can't find a GI practice/ambulatory surgical center that doesn't require the driver to hang out in the waiting room. Skwoo dat.
