[QUOTE="sheenacat, post: 1643606, member: 339024"] Yes, that is what I am worried about. All I get told by the GP and the surgery nurse is that my HbA1c level shows I have "excellent control". But as you say it is an average. I have never even had the blood test that gives the results as a single figure like 7 or 8 as I have seen mentioned on here. I just get told that it is not necessary and it would only give a reading of what my blood sugars are at that precise time, whereas the HbA1c gives a longer term figure. But I just think surely they should check (or I should check if they won't) whether I have large spikes so I can try and change if that is the case. Thank you all for your helpful comments and advice. [/QUOTE]
