Message: <blockquote data-quote="BrianTheElder" data-source="post: 1394363" data-attributes="member: 311044">The maths says yes, it is possible, but what is the maths based on?  The standard chart goes down to HbA1C of 4%, which gives 20.2 mmol/mol.  And if you continue, this gives an estimated eAG of 3.0 mmol/l.  eAG is the estimated blood glucose level that, if maintained for 2-3 months, would  produce the HbA1C referred to.  Now, whether anyone can sustain a blood glucose level of 3mmol/l for 2-3 months to produce a HbA1C of 4% is very doubtful.For information, a HbA1C of  4.3% would in theory be produced by an eAG of 4.3, which is my current average.But I think these charts and tables are all approximations, estimates, interpolations and extrapolations, but work fairly well within normal ranges.As to whether it can be achieved, I  plan to get a lot lower than my current 31 (5%), so I will let you know!</blockquote>
