[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1393719, member: 94045"] People on here compare not testing to driving without a speedometer. You are working blind and it's all guess work. You may get a few nasty surprises! The HbA1c is fallible. It measures a rough average but does not show what the highs are post meal. It is the spikes that cause the damage. Your HbA1c may show an average of say 6mmol/l but won't show all the 8's and 9's post meal, and because at times such as overnight and after not eating for 5 or 6 hours, you may see a lot of low readings in the 4s and 5s. the average looks pretty good, but damage is being caused.
