    your numbers are close to mine. I think they're fine. there's a ratio that they go by, ask your doctor what it is.
    OTOH, be sure to not get dehydrated, because you will find yourself with REALLY low BP and freak your doctor out (and maybe black out too)

    Those quickie tests have pretty big margins of error. The numbers you need to pay attention are from the actual blood draw. Eat right, exercise, stay hydrated - and DON'T eat 8 hrs before your blood draw! You can have water, take any meds, but no eating.
