[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2402366, member: 517579"] I wonder if part of this issue is that the "A1c diabetic level" was a fairly recent compromise agreement so that every country signing up agreed that an A1c of 50 was diabetes, and that a lower A1c wasn't? My experience has been of having around ten or twelve years of diabetic symptoms, but no diagnosis of diabetes because my A1c wasn't high enough (then) for a diagnosis. This has continued after my BG returned to "normal" levels - I had a couple of new short-term symptoms last year and still have the night sweats and tingling feet on occasion. At the same time I know diagnosed T2s with much higher BGs than mine who report zero symptoms. My conclusion is that the medics are focused on a number derived from testing and do not look at the patient in front of them. [/QUOTE]
