I am under a diabetes specialist and at the last visit said my blood reading was 52 ..in the past its been 82 what are these figures ?
 
Hi. Assuming these figures are for the HBa1C blood test i.e. from blood samples taken by a phlebotomist, then they show your average blood sugar over the previous 3 months weighted to the last month. A figure of 82 is pretty high and not good but a figure of 52 is not too bad but slightly higher than it ought to be. If you are overweight then some weight reduction should bring it down a bit further. A low-carb diet will help achieve that.
