I visited the doc last week.
They did the a1C and I was introduced to something new.
Instead of taking a vial of blood and then wait couple days for result, they did a finger prick and gave me a1C in 6 minutes. Just as simple as our daily lifescan testing... someday.
I would imagine this technology is not yet at consumer cost levels, but it sure was a new thing for me to see. Has anyone else done a1C like this?
Oh, I was at 6.6, and in March I was at 6.5. Since reading DF I have wanted to know what I have been - I didn't really clock in my numbers in the past, but since so many here stick feather in hat over a1C, I figured I'd see how good/bad I did. Those numbers don't sound too bad, but I think I like the idea of dropping below 6 - that will be my aim, I think.
