[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1962391, member: 41816"] When you say that your 'numbers are excellent' what do you actually mean? Is this based on an annual HbA1c? Or one every 3 months? Or do you test at home? If so, how often? And what are the numbers? Healthcare professionals have a habit of telling us 'that is great!' or 'Your HbA1c was fine' with a smile, because they assume we won't be interested and won't understand the numbers. But it means that we regularly get members appearing on the forum in a state of shock because 'great' and 'fine' were actually a lot higher than ideal, and have led to diabetic complications and illness. Are you on any medication? Your profile does not say. And the answers you get may vary a great deal depending on what medication (if any) you take. [/QUOTE]
