[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2208790, member: 480869"] I like your anology for meters accuracy. I disagree with your DSN though as will many if not most on here. They see testing as a means to check for hypos and adjust insulin. It can also be used to great effect to see what each meal or food does to you. It’s often compared to speeding tickets. The fingerprick is the car speedo. The hb1ac is the speeding ticket (or not) a month (or 3, 6 or maybe 12) later. You have no idea by then what caused it. Would you drive without a speedo? And no you most likely wouldn’t feel the hyper, or not clearly and reliably enough to be sure that was it rather than tired or too much water etc etc. The cumulative effects causing complications you might well feel but by then it’s a bit late and you are playing catch up and cure rather than prevention.
