[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 874603, member: 14029"] I can't remember when the A1c came out but don't think it was around in the 1960's do remember it from the 70's though. Home blood testing came along in about 1982. So all we had was strict diets or supposedly as the case may be. Back in those days I don't think we had as many stresses from diabetes as no testing etc. so no worries. My A1c is 6.4 and hasn't been above 6.5 for 10 years and not above 7 in the last 20. That's as far as I can go back with my own records. [/QUOTE]
