[QUOTE="cugila, post: 108985, member: 15325"] I'm agree with Pavlos. HbA1c is only an average figure. It shows a trend and is not ideal as an indicator of overall blood glucose control. To give an example using my average numbers over the last 90 days it is 6.7. Not bad, you might think. However what that number hides when I analyse it over that period is that I have had a large number of readings up to 14.7 mmol/l and also readings of down to 2.9 mmol/l. Hyperglycaemia and Hypoglycaemia ! So if I was to rely solely on the HbA1c or my monthly average readings I would be well wide of the mark. That's why I for one advocate frequent testing on a daily basis, without them I would be treading a pathway in the dark, possibly eventually leading to complications. [/QUOTE]
