Hi,
I was put on insulin in January this year after 11 years of oral meds. I was working alongside the diabetic nursing team, trying to find the dose that was for me, starting at very low amounts of insulin and working upward. My readings seemed to be all over the place with what seemed like mainly highs at first, going all the way up to 18 and generally waking high (10+) and going to bed high.
I recently went for my actual blood test (HbA1c) in May which turned out to be 48 mmol/mol (6.5%).
Anybody else noticing that their actual HbA1c results are not really being reflected on the averages over the months of the blood glucose monitors?
