[QUOTE="DaftThoughts, post: 1381629, member: 317436"] I know what you mean. My HbA1c was horrible but they still tried to put insulin off for the longest time for me. Just remember that a doctor's advice for treatment is not a final verdict. You know your body best. The spikes are a warning sign that your body doesn't produce enough insulin to cover the food you eat, and while HbA1c can be useful, it's also limited and doesn't necessarily reflect what's happening. Think of it like BMI, it has its uses, but it doesn't always work out for everyone on an individual scale. :) If you don't already do this, I'd like to suggest that you write down what you eat and how many grams of carbs are in your meal, what your bloodsugar is before you eat and what it is 2 hours after you eat, ever single day up until your appointment. That will give a very good indication of what's happening with the foods you eat and how your body responds, and help show your health care team that insulin would be a good choice. [/QUOTE]
