[QUOTE="pollensa, post: 1646402"] yes, this is a great idea of taking a log of home readings I do this, and it shocks the docs.... They say A1C is gold the best tester its not in my opinion. The real blood testings are for me reality and not false. I was told, finger tests waste of time, quoting when it shows lower reading it because, you had a lucky day a good day!!! Sorry, that's not the case. I took my log, and shows what I ate, what my BPressure reading is and my BS and daily steps generally 10,000 a day. exercise routine. I only check my fingers now every 4 months and guess what, From April 2017 up until 29th November 2017 each reading, April, July and Nov, are the same with only one or two points up or down either way, they still say its good luck, for goodness sake, I use two differnet testers one is normal finger tester contour and the other the amazing wonderful Genteel suction style, both have the same results!!! not all machines can be wrong, and my numbers and constantly, every 4 months consistent and even Nov my lowest ever no medications Fasting always a high for me was 80mg/dl!!!!! how about that one..... so, my advice, follow ones own rules, and get 2nd and 3rd opinions as not always are the information you received correct, even if those informing are following the rule criteria system, anyway all the cut off numbers are arbitrary set at whim random choice, admitted as that also, not a doctor, but it does not take rocket science to realize Diabetes is a big business too in my opinion and from 3 months of researches from reputable sources not the internet I might add. so yes, a brilliant and vital necessary thing to do, KEEP A LOG, and thrust it infront of ones doctor or whoever, if they claim your numbers are in anyway not consistent with each A1C and finger tests, especially when they tell you don't take notice of the average blood sugar on the A1C, why do they say this, for example my first A1C showed 8.1% and average sugar of 28mg/dl 8.1% should be around 183mg/dl, then my 6.5% A1C showed average sugar 146mg/dl work tht one out, I did, after 2 months hounding I got confirmation an error on the testing of my A1C had taken place!!! had I not hounded for 2 months my concerns, this would never have been noticed or admitted, yes A1C can have error results and always get a 2nd one if your unsure....I did and the results where amazing.....why I did not accept the first test re Mallorca [/QUOTE]
