[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 249990, member: 31362"] Hi Nicklenocky - I'm a bit confused. You had an Hba1c on 13th feb which was 6.4 - why did you have another one today? That's barely a week. Were they both Hba1cs or was one a normal fasting glucose test? A reason for the lack of difference if they ARE both Hba1Cs is the time. The HbA1c measures the number of glucose platelets that have adhered to your cells. As they have a half-life of three months, they are supposed to give an average blood measurement over the last three months. In fact, the reading is very heavily weighted to the last month. Even so, it means that a bad set of figures don't have a massive effect as they are evened out over the period. It could be that although you had some bad readings going on to the averages recently , you had some equally bad or worse ones from about a month ago coming off! That way your Hba1c could go down. Have I confused you more? [/QUOTE]
