[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 376699, member: 17713"] I was told that basically if you take your hba1c level.. Or your 90day overall figure on your combo pump.. Thenlook at you SD, then that is just the variance in levels that you are getting with your blood tests. Ie... If you have an hba1c or 90day reading of 5.5 and you SD is 5.5 then your average readings from your blood meter will be showing you in the ranges of nithing to 11.0. (this will deoend on your qty of tests.... And other factors). However, if you are at 5.5 and you have a SD of 2.0... Your variances would be more eithin the 3.5 to 7.5 range. However... Again... This all depends on the qty of nlood tests that you take, otherwise its a useless bit of info. Ie if you were taking 2 bloodtests a day they may always be within the target ranges and you could be thinking yippee, whilst in reality you blood during the rest of the 24 hours could be ****, and so the SDwould be nonsense. I would only recommend looking at your SD if you do 8 or more bloodtests a day at regular times. I do, so I tryto keep my SD's to less than 3.0. I've only had one consultant that ever looked at my SD range. I dont think they bother with it, but I personally think my retinopathy disappeared because my SD was really good. [/QUOTE]
