[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1987559, member: 401801"] If all a doc looks at are your HbA1c's, all they're seeing are averages. You can have an okay HbA1c, and be nice and even... Or you can have an okay HbA1c with a lot of spikes and dips. It's just one number, and a doc can't tell whether it's nice'n'even or spiking up and down. You and your meter can tell though. If you make a curve during a regular day (testing every hour on the hour, or every 2 hours, depending on how much you love your fingers), it'll show what your bloods are doing over the course of a day. Take those results in, and go over them. If there's 3's in there and no action is taken (like reviewing your medication etc), you might want to ask for a referral to an endo. Your GP may be in over her head a little, and diabetes isn't a one-size-fits-all kind of deal. [/QUOTE]
