My last was in the low 5's but I too get the horrendous spikes that us T1's just cant seem to blinking well tackle without eating NO carbs (or maybe its just me....) I think people might 'glycate' their cells differently which might just be genetics and some anaemias do give low hba1c's but its often puzzled me too. I know what you  mean re docs though., If I complain about spikes of 10 or so, I get told that 'non' diabetics get this too and not to worry. I wish they would do a proper study of spikes because there is some 'notion' that they might cause damage but no real commitment to look at it. As long as we rely on the hba1c which I never find to be an average on my meter (though appreciate there are hours in between) we will ignore the grey areas that impact on our lives. Still, suppose NHS need some kind of barometerStill, Ive yet to test any non diabetic friend/family who get over 7. Ever</blockquote>
