[QUOTE="STARRYNIGHTS, post: 1724114, member: 470282"] I suppose what i was wondering is what would be the hba1c of a healthy person? For instance, one person could eat some sweets and their body deals with the glucose quickly without major spikes, while the other, with impaired glucose processing would react quite differently to the same food with big spikes...so I was wondering , if i get it to a lower level, away from heading back up to the pre-diabetic numbers, that surely means my body is functioning better as it is processing the glucose better...Does that make sense??? The doctor didn't tell me what to aim for... When I had the hba1c two other times, I got a reading of 41 and then a 39 a year or so apart and didn't do anything as I wasnt "in the danger zone yet" (and wanted to still enjoy blocks of chocolate at leisure) but now i know that even edging up to the glucose levels of pre-diabetes, causes damage in your body and arteries, so surely lower is better?
