Is there something like too low HbA1C?

Lol, M, I'd recommend being a wild child for three months: steak-bakes, cheesecake, beer, maybe pass out in a Soho gutter at 3am a couple of times with a severe hypo for added affect - you'll be a total shoo-in for a libre script after that!
Probably same behaviour or at least results with less 'wild' behaviour to earn an insulin pump, too!
 
Hi again @lucas12, if you put words like ' causes for false HBA1C' in the question box right upper section of the Forum page there are references there to articles which list and explain the various medical conditions, medications etc which can affect HBA1C readings including haemolysis = premature death of red blood cells etc, high dose Vitamin C or E, aspirin, liver disease etc.
 

There is no way of determining how long red blood cells live for us mere mortals. It requires hospital examinations and tests, and is only ever done for research purposes.
