[QUOTE="Totto, post: 1453285, member: 91524"] Hi [USER=102501]@AnnInDenmark[/USER], I'm in a similar situation with a HbA1c of 33 and a very stupid diabetes nurse. I haven't made my mind up yet but will discuss it with my GP. I was diagnosed a few years ago with an OGTT of 13.8 at two hours (20.6 at one hour) and am not very keen to go through that experience again. As far as I can understand there are problems with the HbA1c test as the amount of Hb can differ as can the actual type of Hb and both will affect the result, whereas the OGTT is fairly reliable. If my GP is very insistent I might go ahead and have the test, provided I can get some further tests done at the same time, like C-peptid for example. What if they took a more scientific approach to blood glucose levels and asked us how we have managed to achieve this level of control? They might even learn a thing or two. [/QUOTE]
