[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 816488, member: 85347"] The HbA1c is a mean average of what you Blood/Glucose levels have been in the 3 months prior to the blood test being taken. It gives a mean average over that time and is not the same as readings taken with a home Blood/Glucose test meter which will show your Blood/Glucose level at that moment in time. By getting your weight down, a good choice of diet, and suitable regular exercise, you can beat diabetes and become the master and not it's slave, you might well find that you can also avoid the need for diabetic medications as well as any of the long term effects to you health that diabetes can result in.. Sadly once someone has crossed the criteria for diagnosing their diabetes in the first instant, they will have diabetes with them throughout their lives. With that said it is possible to lead a perfectly normal life but you will need to always be aware that diabetes will hide itself away waiting it's opportunity to come back with a vengeance should you give it any chance.
