All of the above. I've been fighting this some 15 years, and I still have 20/20 after some wars.

Much depends on how well you control your BGs from here on. An 8.5A1C is definately on the road to perdition. You do need to take steps to fix that.

I recommend you do some basal testing. High variances is a sure sign that you have gaps in your coverage that you do not understand. This is the technique to at least identify them. I'll send you some links, but here's one to read now.
