In 1841 and 1842, the first two years of the Trail's use by emigrant parties, the overland route ended at Fort Walla Walla, at the mouth of the Walla Walla River. From there, emigrants rafted their wagons down the Columbia River to the Willamette River Valley.
I have been an insulin dependent diabetic for 20 years. I had my first ever cortison injection for a worn out knee. For 5 days after the injection my blood sugar levels ran between 450 and 600. No matter how much fast acting insulin I took, it would not go down.
What test determines glycemic control over the previous 8 to 10 weeks? The A1c test measures the percentage of hemoglobin that has been irreversibly glycosylated because of high blood sugar levels. This test reflects the average blood sugar level attained over the past 8 to 10 weeks. The GTT is never conducted over an interval this long. The fructosamine test measures the amount of glucose bonded to a protein, fructosamine. This reflects the average blood glucose level attained over the past 1 to 3 weeks. The FBS measures the amount of glucose in the blood before eating.
