[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 655750, member: 22572"] I think that despite the misunderstanding regarding whether the 4 per cent club relates to glucose fasting levels or as you rightly state hba1c score, the substance/sentiment of the post still holds true. Both 5,0% and 4,x% hba1c scores are well into the non diabetic range. Probably most non diabetics will have higher scores. It is my understanding that there is no medical evidence of any additional health benefits associated with lowering your A1c from 5 to these magical 4,x numbers so I fail to see the importance of doing so. It sounds to me like trying to hit a number just for the sake of it. It is good to have targets if this keeps us motivated but I do not think that this should reach the point where it becomes an obsession and source of stress and frustration. Pavlos [/QUOTE]
