[QUOTE="pollensa, post: 1605028"] Hello and then what after testing, both tests finger testing, and A1C cut offs are Arbitrary figures set by experts acknowledged as such as random at whim, at choice, they lower as and when they decide not supported or backed up by medical evidence, or clinical evidence, only based on presumptions as I understand, that by lowering levels here and there accordingly, are to capture the disease earlier?????????? yet in between,normal people become pre or diabetic, and possibly by the one number adjustment, may be provided medicines unnecessarily, and or falsely diagnosed. The Diabetes world has to come to grips, focus on putting a cut off level for the world to follow a strict medically approved cut off and not aribitrary, even the experts in America, the ADA and its so called specialists cannot agree on the cut off for A1C so my question is how can anyone trust the cut offs currently todate, I FOR ONE DO NOT TRUST THE NUMBERS, AS I FEEL THEY ARE DECIDED UPON FOR POLITICAL AND BUSINESS PURPORSES AT THE END OF THE DAY AND IF THAT PROVES TRUE AND CORRECT, THEN AT THE END OF THE DAY AND ULTIMATELY, ITS THE PHARMAS WHO DECIDE ONES DIAGNOSIS NOT THE DOCTORS YES OR NO IS THE FRIGHTENING AND CONCERN QUESTION?
