[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2450667, member: 6467"] You need to know what your fasting BG is during the day as well as from a lab test. Getting a meter is sensible. Once you have that and have tested a bit, getting a Freestyle Libre will give you a much clearer picture of what goes on over a 24 hour period. An HbA1c of 34 mmol/mol is roughly equivalent to a finger prick of 5.8 mmol/L [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html[/URL] If your average BG is, say, 5.2 mmol/L with just a morning fasting spike of 7.2 mmol/L they you would get a normal HbA1c quite easily, I would think. Dawn Phenomenon doesn't mean that you have diabetes, but it would be good to get a full 24 hour profile from a Freestyle Libre to confirm your normal BG profile. As an aside, T1s can get very good HbA1c results by running dangerously low with big spikes from meals. This is one reason that time within range is now considered a better guide to good control. Get some results; this should hopefully reduce the speculation.:) [/QUOTE]
