What is a good Avg for a TYPE 2???

[Pote05]

I check 3-4 times a day and I know its my Morning numbers that Kill me, they run from 98-118! Just wondering what everyone's that is a TYPE 2 run?

A 90 day avg of 107 would equal an A1C of around 5.2...those #s are quite good.

My morning #s are higher than i'd like...higher than yours in fact, generally running 112-115....post meals are quite good as are random..but those pesky fasting #s!

Sounds like you have nothing to worry about!

I think your numbers are quite good. I disagree with Linda - I think your A1c will be around 6.2-6.3, at least mine run about one digit above my test readings.

Sounds fantastic to me; I should get such nice numbers...but good to keep on top of things!

I don't understand. Mine was 6.3 when I was diagnosed with diabetes. If what you say is true, how is a diagnosis made?

I use a printable A1C conversion chart from geocities....an A1C of 6.2-6.3 according to this chart would mean an average 90 day of 143-147.

I have found my averages correlate quite closely with my A1Cs, but this may be because I test quite often. So far, there've been no surprises A1C-wise.

We will find out, next week get A1C test so will see what avgs are what...

Now down, got lucky yesterday after work out had my first 70 reading! Bu all day yeaterday was awesome...
6am: 97, 1pm : 92, 5:30pm 70, 10pm: 93 so they are slowly getting better. I don't dread getting on the treadmill any more either...
Since Jan 01, 2008 I am now down 39 pounds with , Low Carb Diet, Watching the Beer (A LOT), working out... Still once a month I have my BR day that I do what I want and it seems to be working...

Just in case there is any misunderstanding:

A1C is a percentage value and is NOT the same as the mmol blood glucose reading

for example...
an A1C of 7% is NOT the same as an average Blood Glucose of 7.0mmol/L (126 mg/dL) ... it actually correlates to an average Blood Glucose of 9.5mmol/L (170 mg/dL)

It must be wrong or all the others are. A1C of 6.3 is 147 on other charts, one this one it's 124??
