[QUOTE="lindisfel, post: 356895, member: 57698"] Hi, Correct me if I am wrong. HbA1c does not distinguish between the high glycators or low glycators. Some could therefore be prediabetic and be diagnosed as diabetic? Also some could be diabetic and be diagnosed as prediabetic? Surely HbA1c is merely a tool that indicates integrated glucose levels for normal glycators? By the way Phoenix, your maths is probably a lot better than mine. :) It is 50 years since I did any serious maths. You mention spikes; When the area under the graph is considered there may long periods of lowered glucose levels way below the putative equivalent average glucose from HbA1c, which these transient(?) or unseen spikes will not seriously affect. NB. There has to be the same area above the Hba1c equivalent line as the 'space' below it! Perhaps we all sleepwalk and scoff bread and potatoes. ;-) BTW I use two different blood glucose meters and get the same results from similar GI foods. I find my HbA1c of 50 difficult to equate to AG. A reading of 9.0mmol/l as a EAG seems way too high! I only go over 9.0 if I deliberately abuse the bread and potatoes to see what happens to my blood glucose. I shall have to get a private Fructosamine test (c.£140) to investigate the possibility I am a high glycator. regards Derek [/QUOTE]
