When my HBA1c was 7.1, clinic were happy with it, I wasn't. At the time my blood sugars would fulctuate daily between 2.4 to 15. Sometimes it would go as high as 20. Despite me telling the clinic of the probs I was having probs, they always put "good control" in my notes!. I had a look on my last visit. It made me wonder what the real value of the HBA1c test is.
I recently met an older type-2 who's HBA1c was under 5 and his docs were still badgering him. I assured him he prob had nothing to worry about with these levels, but am puzzled why my consultant told me it was ok for my sugars to rise as high as 15 every day??
Wondered if any other type-1forum members have "ok" HBA1c results while having such fluctuations in blood sugars.
Must say that since changing to pork I no longer have these fluctuations, unless I overcompensate for a hypo, then I know it's my fault and why it's happened.
