[QUOTE="phdiabetic, post: 1590179, member: 317494"] I wish there could be a test for red blood cell lifespan, I am quite curious now. However, if mine died faster than everyone else's, wouldn't my recent troubles cause a much higher HbA1c than my previous one (which was taken during uni break when I was not stressed, and was able to manage my numbers a lot better while I was at home)? I went from 27 to 29 (or 4.6 to 4.8), which are really almost the same. Based on the actual finger pricks/CGM readings, I expected a large increase. I also had the worst numbers in the days leading up to the blood test. (And I didn't donate or receive blood). I guess there's no use worrying about it, I'll just try my best and hope that it'll be ok. [/QUOTE]
