Hi,I note excellent results athough not a doctor, and this is purely personal comments, I notice since the dropping of your A1C from high to now current which is very good, may I enquire have you considered or thoughts passed your mind these results are purely from the fact your taking medication ie. they are not real results but false if you look at it that way? It looks as though your situation is getting better, but in reality its not as what happens if you stop the metformin for example.
I refused Metformin to give you example, my doc refused to allow me change of lifestyle, low carb keto eating intermittent fasting 3 times a week,and exercising daily 4,00 to 10,000 steps a day 4klm up to 9klm a day depending on weather and other, this change of lifestyle resulted
lowered my A1C by 23% in 12 weeks NO MEDICATION.
My doc on viewing the results said excellent! but of course as I quote him "its understandable, the medication is working as it should keeping your sugar levels down i.e this shows up over the 3 months on the A1C testing"! How wrong was my Doc.
I had great pleasure to inform him, with no disrespect to him, I decided not to take the metformin, put them down the toilet basically, continued to take charge of my own body, which I know best, and the 23% lowered results on my A1C are due to completely 100% natural reversal of numbers, and not with assistance of a synthetic drug that can damage other organs kidneys as I am informed if true, and other, along with keeping sugar levels low, so A1C that show excellence of lowered results, when taking medication, may be the case, but the question the real question is, IS THE A1C TRUE...not really its giving false illusion that ones A1C is better, yes it may be, not by the bodys natural format of change of lifestyle, diet and exercise as was the result of my own A1C reducement.
It frustrates myself, that so many thousands of people, may be so happy to see a reduced A1C whilst on medication, the reality is another thing, and my question is and sadly it seems, NOT MANY if any take into consideration this??

I'm not sure the relevance of this to my question about diabetes identification, perhaps you posted it in the wrong place?
