[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2078314, member: 41816"] The HbA1c is often described as showing the average of blood glucose over the last 3 months. If this were the case, then a period of diet change over 6 months is enough to create huge differences - depending on what those changes have been, of course! :) The reality is that the HbA1c is rather weighted to recent weeks so that recent eating has more effect than what was being eaten 3 months ago. Which means that dietary changes will have even more impact. :D I'm someone who much prefers to self fund my own blood glucose testing rather than waiting for a sporadic HbA1c. No worries then - I know exactly what is going on on a daily basis. [/QUOTE]
