I did some more digging into A1cs
From here
http://www.diabetes.nhs.uk/communicatio ... management
In England 97% of people registered with diabetes have had
their HbA1c measured in the previous 15 months. 62% of
people with diabetes had a HbA1c measurement of less than
7.5 and a further 28% had a measurement between 7.5
and 10.
Only 16.5% of children under 16 years old who have had their
HbA1c measured had a value of less than 7.5. More than a
quarter (27.8%) had a HbA1c of more than 9.5. Among young
people aged 16 to 24 years old 37.2% had a HbA1c
measurement of 9.5 or more.
Scary stuff! Especially when you realise the "average" will include a lot of newly diagnosed folks who have still not disintegrated too far, and us superior beings who are achieving 5% <G>
Seriously there is a LOT you can do to improve things. This document has been around for many years now
http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm
by following that protocol we see many many people making huge improvements not only in BG numbers but lipids and BP too
