Message: <blockquote data-quote="hanadr" data-source="post: 37253" data-attributes="member: 8110"><p>From what I have read, HbA1c> 6 is not the trigger for complications.  It shows an average over 3 months. The real danger is "spikes". It's perfectly possible to have a low HbA1c with swings of Bg that go above 7mmol/l  regularly. It's that 7 which is the tipping point. whereas the 5% target is good, it's not the whole answer. Achieving a 5% by keeping BG around 5.5 all the time is much better than swinging from 8 down to 3.5 on a regular basis. What complicates matters is that you don't know exactly what is happening between snapshot BG tests.</p></blockquote><p></p>
