If the results were from a fingerstick test if the patient had been eating sourpatch kids, or gotten sugar on there fingers and didn't wash their hands prior to testing thats always a recipie for a false reading. One time I was on an airplane my sugar was on the low side ate candy. Stupid me didn't think to wash my hands later on felt like my sugar was outta wack tested it using my fingers saw upper 300's bloused and almost killed myself was lucky I have friends close by. It might be that or just a person in denial of their DX.

HbA1c: Of little consequence to you Omitted in an effort to avoid control comparisons and A1C snobbery lol. While I have had many good ones every once in a blue moon I get my *** kicked hard by this D. The fact that I dust myself off and continue the fight is whats really important.
