[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1510555, member: 410240"] Research is starting to say that the last few weeks BG has more affect on HbA1c then the BG from 12 weeks ago. So taking an average over 12 weeks is likely to overestimate HbA1c if your BG is going down. Therefore doctors are starting to do HbA1c after 8 weeks. As some peoples blood cells last longer then others, a HbA1c can only be converted to a BG reading for the "average person". For Type2, HbA1c is most useful as a "fire alarm" when it increases or does not decrease when expected. [/QUOTE]
