[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2148425"] You may not, but many people do. Since it's unclear what constitutes "rubbish", it is often very useful to test foods in order to gauge one's own reaction from a glucose response perspective. Additionally, some people may find it unimaginably difficult to overcome their insulin dysfunction, and simply giving up "rubbish" is not enough. Speaking only for myself, if I had relied solely on HbA1c as a measure of my progress, I'd probably have died before regaining control. Remember, what's good for the goose is not always good for the gander. Discouraging diabetics from self-testing if they wish to do so is irresponsible and potentially dangerous. Oh and your doctor is wrong. Used alone, HbA1c is the weakest available marker of metabolic health. [/QUOTE]
