One could assume this would be true for more than just Type 1 diabetics.
It’s nice so much data was available with the HbA1c numbers, the whole time.

Type 2s are subject to the same damage. As an example, we have a friend right now who is T2D: diabetic retinopathy, seeing a cardiologist, & the latest is a kidney specialist. To translate: going blind, heart issues & kidneys failing.
Type 2 diabetes is reversible (Type 1 is not).

People with diabetes may experience damage to the small blood vessels in various organs. The reasons for this are unclear... Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. If true, medicine has returned to the Dark Ages (or has chosen to act that way to facilitate control of the population).
All that matters is that some of us know the reasons.

Type 2 diabetes is reversible More to the point:
Type 2 diabetes is self-inflicted.

I read in some diabetic article that they recommend 6.5% now.

What does that equate to on a standard American glucose meter?

Get your HbA1c tested. It is an estimate of your true, but unknown, blood sugar average, every hour of every day for three months.

“Type 2 diabetes is reversible”
Just dear friend reversed hers in six months through strict dieting. (Six months later she was gone by metastatic breast cancer.)

I don’t really understand all of this, but my most recent blood panel showed a 104 regarding blood sugar. One doctor put me in a panic because of it. Another doctor said he doesn’t worry about that number so much, but considers the overall health condition. To panic or not to panic? That is the question.

A1C is a more important number.

104 is fine. One data point is not a trend.
To: Chickensoup
Thank you. Is A1C checked in a normal blood panel?

Probably not. Ask to be sure. Medicare is into limiting blood tests now.

Thanks! Isn’t it odd that since Covid we have more trust in our FRiends here than we do in the healthcare industrial complex? My doctor scowled when I mentioned Ivermectin, but I chose to agree with testimonials of fellow FReepers. I’m glad I did.

A1C is the test you want if you are “concerned.”
A blood glucose test is impacted by just about everything. I test my BG about 5 times a day. If you eat a single cookie it will spike up. If you expertise it will spike up. If you eat something late the night before, it could pop up in the morning.
An A1c looks at the glucose that has attached itself to your red blood cells. A red blood cell will last about three months. So, if you have a lot of glucose in your system all the time your A1c will be high. If you spike from ice cream once a week, your A1c will be fine.
A random reading of 104 without a lot of context isn’t worthy of a comment.
To: MayflowerMadam
Nope. But it’s common and shouldn’t be that expensive.
