| | | 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.

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.

| | 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) definitions & test interpretation
