    The only people that can say yes or no are recruiting so make the phone call. I would ask for the manager, that way you might get an IQ that registers above zero.

    No. I take Metformin and am in week 2 of training. In the physical they will check your blood sugar and also your A1C so be prepared.

    I was told by a driver that its 140 but mine was 143 and they didnt say anything. I havent been able to find a definate answer either but at this point Im laying low! They did say they would test every 90 days if I remember right.

    I was told by a driver while I was in the exam area waiting for my physical that the B/S reading has to be less than 140. Mine was 143 and they didnt say anything so I dont know how accurate what he told me is.

    I would call them...

    I should be leaving with a trainer the 21st or 22nd. I probably (hopefully) wont be there when you arrive.

    If you arrive on the 23rd, you will probably have Michael as your instructor. He can be a real jerk. If he barks at you, just bark back at him and he will leave you alone. There is another guy named Mike that reminds me of a cross between Popeye and Larry the Cable Guy. He can be a jerk too but just when someone pushes his buttons. Otherwise he is pretty cool. All of the other instructors I have run across are cool.

    Are you staying at their motel? I just watched about a dozen cops arrest 2 guys and right now they are doing crime scene in the 2 rooms. A little excitement for the night.

    I would ask about the A1C because they will check along with the B/S. Better to ask now than to get here and have to go home...

    Best of luck...
