HbA1C
Well, here we can cheat no more without being found out. It is a test that
gives an average of the BG over the last 6 weeks - 3 months.
In the *olden days* we *smart* diabetics used to take a bit more insulin
and/or walk to the dr. office before getting our 3-month BG so it would be a
good #. Now one test reveals all. Yours would probably be outta sight.

Haven’t the foggiest of WHAT you all are talking about
Marius,
That’s because SA does not have Glycosolated Hemoglobin A1c tests. But, I
believe those #s reflect the same as your BG tests. So I guess since we know
we should be 4-7 for our HbA1c tests, the higher #s are too much. When
you’re 22 - NO WAY do we want our HbA1c’s to be that. Get out of the fog and
down to Earth. Let’s hear single-digit #’s from you. We’ll even accept
9’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
