[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1585423, member: 94045"] There are many such articles. I have a whole collection of them. It is very well known that red cell life span is crucial. If it is not around the average of the general population, then the HbA1c can be skewed. Then we have red blood cell abnormalities, such as anaemia, high or low haematocrit levels, hypothyroidism, and similar. Trust your finger prick measurements over and above your HbA1c (if you test regularly enough that is) [/QUOTE]
