[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1584456, member: 185674"] Just the title of this thread made me smile!! ;o) And it is super refreshing to see one is not alone in this world to challenge the idiocy of chasing the HbA1c number as the holy grail. For years we have been able to pull out the bell curve with e.g. 2 std deviations from old meters but most physicians/nurses still appear shellshocked when having to explain what that means when looking at it. If they are the professionals, no wonder many diabetics remain stigmatized, relying on the few daily bg meter spot checks and the HbA1c reading they get every 3 months. [/QUOTE]
