[QUOTE="infinitemantra, post: 1561295, member: 329335"] I hva e the same problem. Have been diagnosed as diabetic for just over a year and my H!AC has gone down from 147 to 35 in that time. However my home tests have consistently been considerably worse than my H1AC results. I juts got a control solution to check my meter , but these allow sucgh a range that whilst the meter passed the test there is still room for it to be wrong. I struggle for a meaningful answer. Home testing meters are allowed to be fairly inaccurate, H1AC may not be a true reflectin of your blood if your blood sugar over time does not last very long. So where are you left when trying to assess your control - for me is getting the number down to 35 success and injust need to maintain? or should I be attempting to get my meter numbers down - currently showing an average of 8.3, against my H1AC equivalent to 6 [/QUOTE]
