| A1c/home monitor discrepancy What happened? Have any of you had a significant discrepancy between your averages at home and your A1C test? I don't know whether I should get a new meter or what. My meter (since I've been low carb - faithfully) hasn't gone above 126. I've tested often and always after a new food. Two hours after eating, it's usually 103-116. Four hours later it's often in the 80's. Overnight is always below 100. A Biosafe A1C had me at 4.9 just over a month ago! I haven't changed diet or activity level or anything else. An A1C at a local lab a couple of weeks ago was 5.9. My home tests have stayed the same. I know I can go high. After the A1C tests, I decided to try an experiment - bagel plus more breakfast - shot to 178 nearly 2 hours later, but I was down to 91 4 hrs. later. I won't do that again, but that was after all A1C testing. I wanted to increase my carbs slightly - for energy, but now I'm too scared. Any insight? Advice? |
