[QUOTE="pollensa, post: 1786939"] Suggestion box, Ask your doctor for breakdown explanation regards the reading, it may be the test which I understand covers approx 3 months period, you may may not have taken any medications during this period, been ill, lesser exercise during this particular period for example, which again may may not affect the final result, as my own doc says, a1c after all is simply just a general guide of how the candy is sticking to the cells situations can give different results. I would inform him what you ate or if you took meds during 3 months, and ask he explain the reading especially if as you say have been taking care, motivated regards foods you eat and exercise. Variations can take place here in spain its a 0.5% difference either way, a result of 6% may be 5.5% or up to 6.5% they inform? day of my last test, always ensuring I double check due to variations, day of test, I took my own A1C own home test in a fasting state it was 5% 7.30am I went to the surgery for the official lab test fasting state 8.15am 5.5%, I did Home A1C test 4.30pm same day, non fast 5.3% so there you go.....Yes there were some slight variations, yet all numbers are NORMAL RANGE so I dont care whether there is differences of variations numbers, as long as they are normal range zones, this indicates, variations do exist, and simply ask your doc to explain and break it down for you, for peace of mind.
