| My endo says that the A1C doesn't tell the whole story...high or low. Especially in the lows. She says she can have two patients with low numbers...lets say 6.0 and lower. One has even daily numbers, while the other has extreme lows with insulin reactions several times a week.
She would rather see a low 6.0-7.0 than a 5.5 that is experience emergency room visits, severe hypo's, etc.
So, you have to see what your own situation looks like...if your 6.2 is without chronic lows, then you are doing great.
I had never thought about the "flip" side of a low A1C until she mentioned this to me. I was upset over my 6.9 that had increase from 6.5.
My goal is to get down to 6.0 and stay there...5.5 would be a nice second goal...But I don't push the "low" envelope too often and have never had an ER visit. So, it may be a trade-off for me.
I have a bigger problem with doctors telling their patients anything under an 8.0 is good. |
