[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2583950, member: 517579"] Hi gowest - you do see this is good news? The A1c is clearly showing that your BG is low. I think you've put your finger on it when you associate it with your anxiety. I know you've been told this before, but you can't equate a one-off fingerprick test with a three month average A1c test. Nor can you predict an A1c from the single fingerprick. For anyone doing fingerprick morning readings these often tend to be the highest of the day. Mine are often around 6. This isn't anything to do with what you ate, but it's your liver pumping stored glucose into your bloodstream to get you going. I would guess if you're anxious around testing, then the adrenaline will drive your stress and the liver may pump a little bit more. As for getting another A1c done - it's your money but I don't recall anyone on the forums ever having a run of "wrong" A1c results. It is entirely possible that a private test would be processed by the same lab that did your NHS test. My advice would be to try and relax a little. There is absolutely no indication from the results you have posted that you are diabetic. [/QUOTE]
