[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1590758, member: 32394"] A hba1c of 5.9% equates to an average blood sugar of 6.8 mmol. You could have an average blood sugar of 6.8 and still see a fair few readings over 10. When are you testing and seeing levels between 10-18? How frequently are you testing? Do you have any health conditions that would make the hba1c unreliable, anything that would mean your red blood cells are unusually short lived like anaemia? If so, it might be worth seeking a fructosamine test as an alternative to hba1c. Do you take any other medications or supplements? Vitamin E, Ribavirin, interferon-alpha can cause falsely low hba1c results. [/QUOTE]
