[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1520150, member: 412001"] Hi [USER=424109]@markb23[/USER] and welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about the troubles you've been having - I hope you find this forum helpful and supportive; there are loads of people with all kinds of different experiences all willing to offer help, answers and friendly support. It's my understanding that the HbA1c is an average measurement of what your BG has been doing for the last 3 months (roughly), while your day to day meter test is a snapshot of what's happening right now. You said that you were in hospital in March, which is a scant 4 months ago, but if nothing was done to try to control your sugar levels (and you've not been regularly testing so have no idea what your BG patterns are like through the day) then that high overall level would have persisted. The good news is, once you have a meter, it's very easy to understand the impact that the food you eat has upon your BG, and a food diary is probably the best decision you can make when it comes to learning what you eat, when you eat and how you eat. I've found mine absolutely invaluable and now keep one for my son, too. There's lots of good advice available both on the forums and on the main site: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/what-is-hba1c.html[/URL] You're in the right place and asking the right questions. Good luck on your journey and take heart - you're not alone, and your journey, though it seems daunting at the moment, could well turn into something incredibly empowering. Sock :) [/QUOTE]
