[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1784410, member: 93179"] For me, the best HbA1c is the lowest [B]I[/B] can achieve [B]and maintain[/B] long term, which I've been able to do for four years now. However managing my glucose levels on a day to day basis ands keeping them stable is my main aim and more important to me than my HbA1c figures, as I find these more useful and informative than 6 monthly or so HbA1c averages. I've been T2 for 4 and a half years, and have maintained (mainly) low pre-diabetic/high normal glucose levels for most of that time - due to eating a low carb high(er) fat diet of less than 50g carbs a day. I'm not currently on any diabetic meds, but until about a year ago was previously taking metformin SR. But how we manage will essentially depend on how any one person's body is affected by their diabetes. [USER=449093]@JonM1[/USER]: Most T2s are in the same position and we have to self-fund if we choose/want to test. Robbity [/QUOTE]
