I had two physicals in the last 6 months (one for my occasional physical, and another as a pre-op for this surgery) and had my blood drawn for blood panels for other issues (see if my ankle pain is from gout). I’m pretty far from diabetes, fortunately.

My grandfather got diabetes last year, but he’s 86.
