[QUOTE="mcdougall86, post: 2697232, member: 355831"] I haven’t ever had a low reading on a finger prick test, and I don’t ever get symptoms that align with a hypo. My assumption is only because my hba1c doesn’t seem to match with the regular readings I’m getting, so my natural guess was “I wonder if there are lows balancing it out”. I think it’s far more likely that my hba1c just isn’t accurate because of my spleen issues. It’s one of the major factors that can impact falsely low hba1c results from my research. Regardless of what type of diabetes I have, I definitely need to investigate whether my hba1c is accurate because I’ve been accepting that I have “well controlled” diabetes based on those results, but these finger-prick results throw that totally out of the window. I’ve ordered a trial of the Libre, so hopefully that’ll provide some insights. I do think it’s worth investigating the antibodies, just because of my other autoimmunity, so I’ll try and push again the next time I have an appointment. It’s niggling at me, and I need to know.
