[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2534918, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Oh, and [USER=558316]@Little mermaid[/USER] - I can see why you were asked if you were in Britain or not, as you used the American form of measuring HBA1c, which was a bit confusing. Did your doctor tell you you had an HBA1c of 6.7? Or that your blood glucose reading at time of testing was 6.7? (which would be the norm, I should think.) If it was the American measuring system you have an HBA1c of 50, for instance. That would give us readers lots of information to discuss your options with you. And ditto, if was your fasting blood glucose reading, or a post meal reading. So along with your diabetes type, also, your HBA1c - check it out with your medical professionals. (And don't feel embarrassed that you need to check both these things! The first things I had to get my head around on diagnosis was the difference between type 1 and type 2, and, the two different blood glucose measuring systems and how and how best to 'translate' them.) (I blush when i think of it now! But then I remind myself that it is fact rather normal.)[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
