[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1561458, member: 94045"] I think the reason why surgeries prefer the HbA1c over the FBG is because the HbA1c doesn't require fasting. This means the tests can be done throughout the day and not restricted to early mornings, so waiting times are less. So many factors are involved with the FBG, and DP will arise with stress, rushing about getting ready and going to the surgery, anxiety because of the test, and other reasons. In my case if I had to walk a mile to get to the surgery my levels would go up on an empty stomach, not down. Everyone is different. [/QUOTE]
