[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1696915, member: 41816"] Have a look at this chart [IMG]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/images/hba1c-chart.jpg[/IMG] Your 55 (the blue numbers at the top of the arc) equates to 8.9 in mmol/l (prick tests) the white numbers at the bottom of the arc. I would suggest that your prick tests are not catching your real highs. Do you test before each meal and snack, then 2 hours after each one? And if your numbers are high, are you doing additional tests to work out why, and how long it takes to get back to your starting level? Unfortunately it takes intensive testing like this to provide enough info to predict where your HbA1c is going to be - and even then the predictions are often inaccurate. [/QUOTE]
