My latest Hba1c suggests an av of 6.6 so I'm going to start testing at 1hr and other times just to see what's happening when. We may just have longer lived red blood cells I guess and then there's meter accuracy, venous v capillary blood and HbA 1c tolerance too. I know that varying average blood glucose levels can end up with identical HbA1c results so I think as long as we keep testing ourselves and can get a handle on our spikes then that's as good as it is going to get. And unless I'm being dense, it is the day to day levels that give us an idea of whether we are entering risk zone for complications given so many other factors influence the HbA1c result.</p></blockquote><p></p>
