I've been hovering on the edge of prediabetes for almost 5 years and now it's finally happened.

[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1600708, member: 438800"] That's a very narrow band. I have read some sources that list the margin of error for any one HbA1C test as plus or minus 0.5 percentage points on the old NGSP scale. Looking at your numbers, the lowest reading (39) is 5.7% and your latest (and highest) reading is (43) is 6.1%. I am not saying you should not be concerned, just that statistically speaking there may not be much significant difference between those readings (in particular, the jump from 40 to 43 could just be statistical "noise"). However I will admit that I don't know very much about this subject and hope that someone can pipe in with more information about the margin of error for HbA1C tests. It does look like you are doing a lot to manage your condition. Well done. [/QUOTE]
