Excellent numbers, re question current A1C and pre diabetic?? good question, but also not an easy question to use as guide, I give example...
"Once I had first A1C 8.1% this turned out to be lab error only after I asked for recheck! for fact it was discordant with normal finger prick levels it registered against this 8.1% 108mg/dl average sugars!?? Normally 8.1% is around 186mg/dl, hence I hounded "the system", to double check, told ignore don't take notice, I did not ignore as you can imagine.
Then I have have A1C that is 6.5% i.e. with 146mg/dl average sugars?? but Spain views 6.5% as DIABETIC RANGE, BUT new Zealand my home view 6.5% as pre diabetic
Keep in mind, I am labelled one country Diabetic and the other Pre diabetic....
Recent A1C 5.5% showed average of 108mg/dl average sugars the SAME as an A1C of 8.1%??????
Its where do we go, perhaps, whether we are pre something that may or may not happen situation, or Diabetic, if the numbers are good i.e. on the normal levels, that's wonderful.
Currently my last A1C 5% showed average levels sugar equating to this 5% as 186mg/dl oh my goodness so do I presume A1C is typographical error again i.e. should be 8% or do I just ignore again as Doc says, for fact, all my
finger testing numbers for 13 months have been totally normal range, consistently, daily and three monthly intervals, i.e.
fasting 84mg/dl 2 hour after eat 82, random anytime after breakfast 86mg/dl and even same one number up or down
either way even testing in June, and then again Sept, so its not just a matter of a good day or a LUCKY day all showing good, its consistently the same, real blood finger test.
the question I have is how reliable is A1C errors x 1 confirmed possibly two and discordant average blood sugars against the result of A1C leave a lot to be desired, but that's only my own experience.
Bewildering and in wonderment, I take the results any with a pinch of salt and if I am up one day higher on fasting, but majority is lower 2hr and random, I view the majority over the one higher, same if its 2hr higher, but fasting and random normal levels, always I take the majority.
