A person with prediabetes has a fasting blood glucose level between 100 and 125 mg/dl. If the blood glucose level rises to 126 mg/dl or above, a person has diabetes.&quot; and &quot;â¢An A1C 5.6% or below is normal.In prediabetes, A1C levels range between 5.7%-6.4%. run/jog 50/50, 12-15 miles per week, for a total exercise time of 180 min or greater. In EKG, 10/23/14, my resting heart rate is 52/min, sinus bradycardia, otherwise normal ekg. My A1C has been in the 5.6-5.8 range for two years. My fasting blood glucose is 109-110.
Dr. McClurg responded: 1-4 days. The usually hospital stay after hip replacement is 2-4 days. Some centers have experimented with same day surgery. This often results in readmission, or problems at home. The national average is about 3.4 days. The length of stay is dictated by when patients meet all their goals prior to discharge.
The majority of patients who have hip replacement surgery experience a decrease in pain, increased mobility, and improvements in the activities of daily living and quality of life. However, the implanted artificial hip joint wonât last forever. How long can a patient expect a hip replacement to last? âThe honest answer is that we donât know with certainty,â says Dr. Wickum, an orthopedic surgeon at Summit with extensive surgical experience in hip replacement. âAlthough there are many ways to test a hip replacement, thereâs no sure answer about how long a hip replacement will last. The most important way to test longevity is by following a group of hip replacement patients. The implants we use today are modifications and improvements of older designsâjust like new cars. Most of our data for these implants goes back for as far as the implants have been used: about 15 to 17 years.
