Could she check her blood glucose more frequently throughout the day?

I test ten times a day -- and have not had an A1c over 5.8% (6.0% diabetic reference). I attribute my frequent testing (and correcting) to the lower A1c.

One complication of high glucose is having a baby that gains weight too quickly (because the baby releases insulin in an attempt to lower its own blood glucose).

She'll want to be followed up with a perientologist if she can't get her A1c any lower before conceiving.
