[QUOTE="Mep, post: 985631, member: 211362"] My endocrinologist always tells me it is the hbA1c test that matters and it is expected that your BGL's will fluctuate throughout the day on the glucometer readings. He also advised me to try to keep the levels on my meter mostly under 10 to avoid glucose getting into my urine. Anything over 10 isn't good. But it is the average sugar level that is the most important (which hbA1c shows). There's various opinions on this subject, but of course everyone is also different. With me my endo is happy that my hbA1c is currently hovering between 6.7 - 7% for example whereas ideally I'd like to be a lot less. But because I'm dealing with quite a few other health conditions, my endo told me in the last consult I'm actually doing really well in his professional opinion as he knows that my other symptoms would wreak havoc on my sugar levels. He said he sees people dealing with less than me on the health front who are not doing as well as me. So it is your overall wellbeing that is considered and all you can do is your best. We all have various different hurdles we're dealing with and it may not just be diabetes. [/QUOTE]
